+458 Ellen works for a high-speed rail company that wants to develop a new rail line. Ellen’s project is to find a train that is the second fastest in the world. The Shinkansen Bullet Train in Japan is reported to go as fast as 320 kilometers per hour. The TGV train in France can reach speeds of 89.44 meters per second. Explain to Ellen how to find what speed her new train must go to be the second fastest in this group. Then, find an appropriate speed for Ellen’s train in miles per hour and use the formula distance = speed • time to find how far the train can go in 2.5 hours. Use complete sentences and show your work.
+394 The easiest way is to convert all speeds to MPH
Japanese train moves at 320 km/h
1mi/h = 1.6093km/h or 1 km/h = 1/1.6093 mi/h
Then
320 km/hr = (320km/h)/(1.6093km/h) = 198.8 mi/hr
French train moves at 89.44 meters per second.
Convert to meters per hour by multiplying by (3600s/1h) (89.44m/s) = 321984 meters / hour
Convert meters to km by multiplying by (1km/1000m) (321984m) = 321.984 km/hr (then restore the rate)
Convert Km to miles by multiplying by (1mi/1.6093km) (321.984km) = 200.1 mi/hr (then restore the rate)
The fastest train is the French train at 200.1 mph
The Japanese train is at 198.8 mph
To have the second fastest train, the speed has to be between these two numbers.
Ellen’s train need to be 198.8mph < E < 200.1mph (E=Ellen’s train)
The hardest part was using complete sentences. Guys don’t speak in full sentences. We use short phrases and then grunt. Or we use sign language. Usually a certain finger. I guess it’s a kind of digital language.

+394 Hi mari379,
You should be honored. It’s not every new member that gets a special episode of “Moonlight at the Taj Mahal” staring Rosala and Zergroes.
This is a continuing saga. It is very dramatic and entertaining, with the two best stars and a great cast of extras.
(We learn more than math here!)
7up
+11912 You just made me laugh SevenUP !
And btw in your two best stars u can add one more whose called "DragonSlayer"!But its sad hes on the wrong path!Im sure one day ill get one on mine too, nut i think im enough for them both!lol!
+11912 Oops sorry i had forgotten ur next line that said "great cast of extras"!But still hes no more extra , im sure he'll take Zegroes side always!Im happy at least Zegroes has got a helper!lol!
+394 Zegroes needs a helper! It’s all he can do to keep up with you. --I mean keep 10 or 20 steps within your range of wit. How did you ever learn to do that?
7up
+394 Learn to communicate in a funny (witty) manner – for you it is a natural gift, but to be that good at it requires practice.
Zegreos is funny too, but the two of you together makes it really funny and entertaining.
7up
+11912 Thanks!actually ur right it came naturally to me!I'm good in arguing !lol!and maybe Zegroes too!
+3502 Hold up!i dont need no helpers!i just walked away from this cause it was tiring!
+11912 Thats sad!
Zegroes , you were tired or u thought to step back is the best idea!huh!
+839 Mari379, I am glad you think it is amusing :) This is very similar to how I was interdues to this site also "caugh" rosala "caugh" zegroes. I hope you continue to stay with us and our "fun" ;) We are very happy to have you!
+8262 Awe, I am not in the show, or movie, or whatever it is? That is so mean! I write funny things!
+11912 thanks Rose!
But at the same tie im also sad that we had fun on mari's serious post and so no one took much initiaTIVE TO ANSWER HER!But at last 7up did!Im really sorry mari for your trouble!
+8262 rosala, I didn't give you too many negative points. It was someone else, not me.
