Question

A train travels 250 miles at a constant speed (x), in miles per hour.

Answer 1

Answer: $5x=250$ , where x is the speed of the train.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate speed is given by :-

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

Since, the distance traveled by train = 250 miles

Let x be the speed of the train.

Then, the  equation that can be used to find the speed of the train, if the time to travel 250 miles is 5 hours is given by :-

$x=\frac{250}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=250......................[\text{Multiplying 5 on both sides}]$

Answer 2

250 = 5 x is the equation you can use
