in 5 hours to ask Acela Express the fastest train in North America traveled 775 Mi how far did it travel in 8 hours

1 answer

To determine the distance traveled by the Acela Express in 8 hours, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.

Let x be the distance traveled in 8 hours.

We have the following proportion:

5 hours / 775 miles = 8 hours / x

Cross-multiplying, we get:

5 hours * x = 8 hours * 775 miles

Simplifying:

5x = 6200

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 1240

Therefore, the Acela Express traveled 1240 miles in 8 hours.
