Question

A train travels at a speed of 30mph and travel a distance of 240 miles. How long did it take the train to complete its journey?

Answer 1

Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/Speed = 240/30 = 8 Hours

Answer 2

Given,

A train travels at a speed of 30mph and travels a distance of 240 miles.

To Find,

Time taken by the train to complete its journey =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:
It is given that a train travels a distance of 240 miles in 30mph.

We know that distance is equal to speed multiplied by the time taken to cover the distance.

$Distance = Speed*Time$

Here,

$Distance = 240 miles\\Speed = 30 mph\\Time =?$

Substituting the values in the above equation,

$240 = 30*Time$

$\frac{240}{30} = Time$

$Time = 8 hours$

Hence, the train will complete its journey in 8 hours.
