1 answer

To find out how far the Acela Express traveled in 8 hours, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

5 hours -> 775 miles
8 hours -> x miles

We can cross-multiply to solve for x:

5 * x = 8 * 775
5x = 6,200
x = 6,200 / 5
x = 1,240

Therefore, the Acela Express traveled 1,240 miles in 8 hours.
