A train that is one mile long starts through a tunnel that is also 1 mile long. the train is traveling 15 miles per hour. how long does it take for the train to get completely through the tunnel?

Answer 1

The train is one mile long, and the tunnel is also one mile long.

Time begin:
When the head of the train begins to enter the tunnel.
Time end:

The train has travelled two miles between "time begin" and "time end".
