cluponka [151]

Answer:

B. Train B

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Milford and Pinkerton is 300 miles away.

Train A leaves Milford at 10:00 am. There are 3 hours between 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. So let us find distance traveled by train A in 3 hours.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed*Time}$

$\text{Distance traveled by train A}=90\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ hour}}\times 3\text{ hours}$

$\text{Distance traveled by train A}=90\times 3{\text{ miles}$

$\text{Distance traveled by train A}=270{\text{ miles}$

Since train A will cover 270 miles in 3 hours and distance between Milford and Pinkerton is 300 miles, therefore, train A will not arrive Pinkerton before 1:00 pm.

Since there are 5 hours between 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, so let us find distance traveled by train B in 5 hours.

$\text{Distance traveled by train B}=70\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ hour}}\times 5\text{ hours}$

$\text{Distance traveled by train B}=70\times 5 \text{ miles}$

$\text{Distance traveled by train B}=350\text{ miles}$

Since train B will cover 350 miles in 5 hours, therefore, train B will arrive Pinkerton before 1:00 pm and option B is the correct choice.
