Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is 1,240 miles. This can be calculated by finding the average speed of the train and multiplying it by the time traveled. The average speed can be found by dividing the distance traveled (775 miles) by the time traveled (5 hours).

Average speed = 775 miles / 5 hours = 155 miles per hour

Then, we can calculate the distance traveled in 8 hours by multiplying the average speed by the new time.

Distance traveled = 155 miles per hour * 8 hours = 1,240 miles.

So, the train traveled 1,240 miles in 8 hours.
