Answer:

A train will travel 12 miles in 15 minutes.

Explanation:

Let’s say the unknown minutes is x.

16 miles divided by 12 miles equals to 20 minutes divided by X, the unknown.  

Here is the solution;

16 miles        20 minutes

………………  = …………………

12 miles             x

So, 16 miles multiplied by x will give 16x =20 minutes multiplied by 12 miles which is 240.

Now, 16x =240 will give x=240

                                         …………

                                             16

Giving us a final answer of 15 minutes .

Therefore, it will take a train 15 minutes to travel 12 miles.

Lady_Fox [76]

Pearl harbor was filled with families, and children. For Japan to be so heartless and inhumane to bomb pearl harbor, must have changed the minds of many. America felt the pain through the people that suffered and the families that grieved over them so i would imagine, and hope, that people everywhere would step up and take revenge.

p.s. not sure if this is what you were looking for, hope it helps!
