Question

At what speed was a train traveling on a trip when it had completed half of the total distance of the trip? The trip was 460 miles long and took 4 hours to complete.

Answer 1

Answer:

230 mph in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

first i found out how many miles does the train travel in one hour

460 miles ÷ 4 hours

= 115 mph / 115 miles in one hour

the question asks what was the speed of the train when it completed half the distance

half the distance = 1/2 of 460 =230 miles

230 miles is half the distance of the trip

& we know this is correct because earlier we found out that the train travels 115 miles in one hour & in 2 hours it travels 230 miles

115×2=230.

the one thing that i dont quite know is if you say the train is traveling 115 mph or 230 miles in 2 hours .im not sure of tnat .
