To find the total distance the train will have traveled, we first need to calculate its average speed. The average speed can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]
Given that the train traveled 250 km in 5 hours, the average speed is:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{250 \text{ km}}{5 \text{ h}} = 50 \text{ km/h} \]
Next, if the train continues at the same average speed for another 4 hours, we can calculate the additional distance traveled during that time:
\[ \text{Additional Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 50 \text{ km/h} \times 4 \text{ h} = 200 \text{ km} \]
To find the total distance from the starting point, we add the initial distance (250 km) to the additional distance (200 km):
\[ \text{Total Distance} = 250 \text{ km} + 200 \text{ km} = 450 \text{ km} \]
Therefore, the total distance traveled from its starting point will be 450 km.
