Question

The distance from Barcelona, Spain, to Paris, France, is 650 miles. If the train from Barcelona to Paris travels 130 miles per hour, how long does it take to get from Barcelona to Paris?

Answer 1

Answer:

He'll take 5 hours to make this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compute the time it'll take for the train to go from Barcelona to Paris we need to divide the distance of the route he'll take by the average speed at which he'll perform the route. So we have:

time =distance/ (average speed)

time = 650/130  = 5 h

He'll take exactly 5 hours to make this trip.

Answer 2

Given Information:

Distance from (Barcelona, Spain) to (Paris,France) = d = 650 miles

Speed of train = v = 130 miles per hour

Required Information:

How long does it take to get from Barcelona to Paris = t = ?

Answer:

it would take 5 hours to get from Barcelona to Paris

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the speed of the train is given by

v = d/t

Where d is the distance, t is the time and v is the speed of the train.

t = d/v

t = 650/130

t = 5 hours

Therefore, a train traveling at a speed of 130 miles/hour will cover a distance of 650 miles from Barcelona to Paris in 5 hours.
