a train moving at a constant rate of speed travels 260 miles
a train moving at a constant rate of speed travels 260 miles in 5 hours at this rate how many miles will the train travel in 9 hours
Solution
rt=d
 r*5=260
 r=260/5
 r=52 mph
 52*9=468 miles in 9 hours
 Another way to do this
 260/x=5/9
 Multiply both sides by x
 260=5x/9
 Divide both sides by 5
 52=x/9
 Multiply both sides by 9
 9*52=x
 which is the same as we calculated above.
