A train averages a speed of 90 miles per hour across the plains and 37.5 miles per hour through the mountains. If a trip of 300 miles took 3 hour and 48 minutes, how much of it was through the mountains?

11 answers

3 hours and 48 minutes = 228 minutes = 8 hours
90x + 37,5y = 300
x + y = 3.8
equations two unknowns
x = 3
y = 0.8
= > 3 hours away on the plains
= > 0.8 hours to go through the mountains
0.8 hours = 0,8.60 = 48 minutes
sorry, I typed wrong
3 hours and 48 minutes = 228 minutes = 3,8 hours
90x + 37,5y = 300
x + y = 3.8 [(sorry)]
equations two unknowns
x = 3
y = 0.8
= > 3 hours away on the plains
= > 0.8 hours to go through the mountains
0.8 hours = 0,8.60 = 48 minutes
how much miles was it though the mountain
it is ok
how many miles did it take to go through the mountain
30 miles

HEY DADDY
you can find the mile by doing these easy steps:

48=0.8
37.5*0.8=30 miles

30 miles is the correct answer
48
48 bc i did the equation and got it
