It'll make it easier to multiply. If you round 3.9 to four, and 5.3 to five, it's quite easy to figure out the answer is about 20. I hope this helps! :)

You can round these numbers to the closes whole number; 3.9-->4 and 5.3-->5, and then you can do 5x4 to get 20; and if you multiply regularly without estimating, your answer will be around 20.

Nastasia [14]
The first thing we must do for this case is to take into account the following variable:
 x = speed in miles per hour
 Then, by definition we have to:
 d = v * t
 Where,
 d: distance
 v: speed
 t: time
 Substituting values:
 250 = x * 5
 Answer:
 
An equation that can be used to find the speed of the train is:
 
250 = x * 5
