You can put this solution on YOUR website! The tram could cover 400 centimeters in 50 seconds. If the rate of the tram were reduced by one half during the thunderstorm, how far could the tram go in 20,00 seconds?
-------------
Original rate= 400 cm/50 sec = 8 cm/sec
-----------
After reducing by 1/2 the rate would be 4 cm/sec
----------
In 20,000 seconds the distance covered would be 4(20,000)= 80,000 cm
------------
