Question

A train travels 240 miles at a speed of 80 miles per hour. on the way back the train slows to 40 miles per hour. what is the overall time the train traveled?

Answer 1

Time taken on the way to the destination = 240 ÷ 80 = 3 hours

Time taken on the way back = 240 ÷ 40 = 8 hours

Total time taken = 3 + 8 = 11 hours

Answer : 11 hours
