A train travels 304 miles in 4 hours. If it continues to travel at the same rate, how many miles will it travel in 712 hours?

3 answers

The train will travel 3,072 miles in 712 hours.
304 mil / 4 h = 76 mil / h

If your question means:

How many miles will it travel

in 7 1/2 hours?

then:

7 1/2 h = 7.5 h

76 mil / h • 7.5 h = 570 mil

If your question means:

How many miles will it travel

in 712 hours?

then:

76 mil / h • 712 h = 54 112 mil
wrong again.

in 1 hour the train would travel 304/4 miles = 76 miles, so
in 712 hours it would travel 76(712) miles or 54,112 miles

What a ridiculous canned question, and an equally ridiculous answer,
your train would be going at 4 mph
