A train travels 120 miles in 2 hours. What is its average speed in miles per hour?

70 mph
80 mph
60 mph
50 mph

1 answer

To find the average speed of the train, you can use the formula for average speed:

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

In this case, the total distance is 120 miles and the total time is 2 hours.

\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{120 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 60 \text{ mph} \]

So, the average speed of the train is 60 mph.
