If a train travels at 80 mph for 30 min, what is the distance traveled?

The train travels 40 m

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The distance = speed * time

- The train travels 80 mph for 30 minutes

∵ The train travels at speed 80 mph

∵ The train travels for 30 minutes

- We must change the minutes to hours

- There are 60 minutes in an hour

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

∴ 1 minute = 1/60 hour

∵ The train traveled for 30 minutes

∴ The train traveled for = 30 * 1/60 = 1/2 hour

∵ Distance = speed * time

∵ The speed = 80 mph

∵ The time = 1/2 h

∴ The distance = 80 * 1/2 = 40 m

* The train travels 40 m
