Question

A train traveled 250 kilometers (km) from its starting point in 5 hours (h). If the train continues at the same average speed for anther 4 hours how for will it have traveled from its starting point

Answer 1

Answer:

450km.

Explanation:

If train travelled 250km in 5hours, it means it is travelling at a Avg. speed of 250km/5h = 50km/hr.

Since the total amount of time travelled is 5h+4= 9hr, then the total displacement is 50km/hr*9hr = 450km.

Answer 2

Based on the distance the train traveled in the first 5 hours, if it continues to go for another 4 hours, its distance from the starting point would be 450 km.

How far is the train from its starting point?

First find the speed of the train in the first five hours:
= Distance / Time

= 250 / 5

= 50 km/ h

If the train goes for another 4 hours at the same speed, the distance is:

= Speed x Time

= 50 x 4

= 200 km

The distance from the starting point is:

= 250 + 200

=450 km
