It takes an express train 30 minutes to travel 45 miles at that same rate of speed how many miles does the train travel in 12 minutes

Respuesta :

Well if you divide 30 by 10 then multiply by 4 you get 12 minutes.

Do the same for 45,

45 divided by 10 = 4.5 then multiply by 4 =  18


The number of miles the train will travel at the same speed is 18 miles

From the question,

We are to determine the number of miles the train travel in 12 minutes

From the question

It takes an express train 30 minutes to travel 45 miles

First, we will determine the speed

From the formula

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Distance = 45 miles

Time = 30 minutes

∴ [tex]Speed = \frac{45}{30}[/tex]

Speed = 1.5 miles/mins

Now,

For the number of miles the train travel in 12 minutes

Time = 12 minutes

Using the formula

Distance = Speed × Time

∴ Distance = 1.5 × 12

Distance = 18 miles

Hence, the number of miles the train will travel at the same speed is 18 miles
