To find out how many miles the train traveled after 4 hours, we can use the given information that the distance varies directly with the amount of time.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the unknown distance:
d/475 = 4/9.5
Cross-multiplying, we get:
d = (4/9.5) * 475
Calculating this, we find:
d ≈ 200
Therefore, the train traveled approximately 200 miles after 4 hours.
The correct answer is 200.
The distance d a train travels varies directly with the amount of time t that has elapsed since departure. If the train travels 475 miles in 9.5 hours, how many miles did the train travel after 4 hours?
