A train left boston at 7:00 pm it traveled for 2 hours at 75 miles per hour. There were 17.6 passengers on board, how many miles did the train travel in all?????????
17.6 passengers on board? Is it even possible to have 6/10 of a passenger? Lol.
I think this information is not needed for the question though. Also, we don't really need to know when the train left. That is also not needed for the question.
When we rule out that information, we are left with:
"A train traveled for 2 hours at 75 miles per hour. How many miles did the train travel in all?"
It travels 75 miles every hour, and it traveled for 2 hours. This means 75 x 2 wll tell us how many miles it traveled total.
75 x 2 = 150
So the train traveled 150 miles in all.
