To solve the problem using the formula \( d = r \times t \), where:
- \( d \) is the distance,
- \( r \) is the rate (speed),
- \( t \) is the time,
we can plug in the values given in the problem.
- The speed of the Shinkansen (\( r \)) = 450 miles per hour
- The time of the trip (\( t \)) = 5 hours
Now, we can calculate the distance:
\[
d = r \times t = 450 \text{ mph} \times 5 \text{ hours} = 2250 \text{ miles}
\]
So, the answer is **a. 2250 miles**.
- \( d \) is the distance,
- \( r \) is the rate (speed),
- \( t \) is the time,
we can plug in the values given in the problem.
- The speed of the Shinkansen (\( r \)) = 450 miles per hour
- The time of the trip (\( t \)) = 5 hours
Now, we can calculate the distance:
\[
d = r \times t = 450 \text{ mph} \times 5 \text{ hours} = 2250 \text{ miles}
\]
So, the answer is **a. 2250 miles**.
