a train is traveling at 30 miles per hour. how long will it take the train to travel 180 miles? 1.210 hours 2.150 hours 3.6 hours 4.6 hours
none of these are correct. the answer is 6 hours, because if the the train is traveling at 30m/h and the distance = 180m than your equation is 30m/180
The time taken by the train to travel 180 miles is: 6 hours.
It is given that:
A train is traveling at 30 miles per hour.
i.e. the Speed of the train is: 30 miles per hour.
Also, we are asked to find the time taken by the train if it will travel 180 miles.
i.e. Distance= 180 miles.
We know that:
\(Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}\\\\i.e.\\\\Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\)
Now, on putting the value of speed and distance in the formula we have:
\(Time=\dfrac{180}{30}\\\\i.e.\\\\Time=6\ hours\)
Hence, the correct answer is: Option: 4
