In 5 hours the Acela Express the fastest train in North America travels 775 mi how far did it travel in 8 hours

Answer 1

To determine how far the Acela Express travels in 8 hours, we first need to calculate its speed based on the information provided.

The train travels 775 miles in 5 hours. We can find the speed using the formula:

$$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}=\frac{775\text{ miles}}{5\text{ hours}}=155\text{ miles per hour}$$

Now that we know the speed of the Acela Express is 155 miles per hour, we can find out how far it travels in 8 hours:

$$\text{Distance in 8 hours}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}=155\text{ miles per hour}\times 8\text{ hours}=1240\text{ miles}$$

Thus, the Acela Express would travel 1240 miles in 8 hours.
