in 5 hr the acela express the fastest train in north America travels 775 miles how far did it travel in 8 hr

Answer 1

To find out how far the Acela Express would travel in 8 hours, we first need to determine its speed.

The speed can be calculated using the formula:

$$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$$

Given that the Acela Express travels 775 miles in 5 hours, we can calculate its speed as follows:

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

Now, we can use this speed to find out how far it travels in 8 hours:

$$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}$$

Substituting in the speed and the time:

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

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