A train is traveling at a rate of 150 miles per hour. If the train stays at the same speed, how long will it take to travel 525 miles?

Question

2.5 hours
3.5 hours
4 hours
5 hours

Answer 1

To determine how long it will take the train to travel 525 miles at a speed of 150 miles per hour, you can use the formula:

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

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{525 \text{ miles}}{150 \text{ miles per hour}} = 3.5 \text{ hours} \]

Therefore, it will take the train 3.5 hours to travel 525 miles. The correct answer is 3.5 hours.
