How many cars are there in a long freight train if it takes the entire train 2 minutes to pass a station as it travels at 40 miles/hour? Each car is 50 feet long. 5280 ft = 1 mile
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "40(miles/hr)(1 hr/60 min)(5280 ft/1 mi)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= (40*1*5280)/(1*60*1)(ft/min)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= (3520)ft/min
\n" ); document.write( "= (7040)ft/2min
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "# of cars = 7040/50 = 140
