Question

A train is moving at a rate of 65 miles/hour toward a railroad marker located 200 miles away. Which equation could be used to find the time it will take for the distance between the train and the railroad marker to be 4 miles, where h represents the time in hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 196/65

Step-by-step explanation:

65 miles /1 hour is the moving rate

200 miles is the distance to the railroad maker

h = ?

200- 4 miles = 196 miles were left behind the train

65miles /1 hour , 130miles/2hours , ..196miles/ ?hours

h = 196/65 = 3 hours and 1/65 minutes from an hour = 3 hours and 12/13 min.

60/ 65 = 12/13
