Answer 1

Question 1:
To determine the proportion to find the miles traveled in one hour, you can set it up as a ratio. You know that 300 miles are traveled in 8 hours. The proportion can be expressed as:

\[ \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{8 \text{ hours}} = \frac{x \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}} \]

where \(x\) is the number of miles traveled in one hour.

Question 2:
To find out how many miles it travels in one hour, you can divide the total miles by the total hours:

\[ \text{Miles per hour} = \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{8 \text{ hours}} = 37.5 \text{ miles} \]

So, the A train travels 37.5 miles in one hour.
