Answer 1

To find out how many miles the A train travels per hour, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

In this case, the distance is 300 miles and the time is 8 hours.

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{8 \text{ hours}} = 37.5 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

So the answer is **37.5 miles**.
