Question

A train travels a distance of 20miles for 50min. Calculate the speed of the train.​

Answer 1

Answer:

24 mph

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 20 ÷ 5/6

Speed = 24 mph

NOTE: 5/6 is a fraction in this case and is equivalent to 50/60 and 60 minutes = 1 hour of course.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

$\textsf {speed = 24 mph}$

Explanation:

$\textsf {Formula used :}\\\implies \textsf {speed = distance/time}$

$\mathsf {Given :}$

$\implies \textsf {distance = 20 miles}$

$\implies \textsf {time = 50 minutes = 5/6 hour}$

$\textsf {Solving :}$

$\implies \mathsf {speed = 20 \div 5/6 }$

$\implies \mathsf {speed = 20 \times 6/5}$

$\implies \mathsf {speed = 4 \times 6}$

$\implies \textsf {speed = 24 mph}$
