the train travels 115 miles in 65 minutes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it makes 3 stops with an average of 2 minutes apiece.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the total time stopped is therefore 6 minutes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this means that its travel time was 59 minutes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it's speed is therefore 115 / 59 = 1.949152542 miles per minute.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply that by 60 and you get 116.9491525 miles per hour.\r
