Question 1095067: On May 26, 1934, a streamlined, stainless steel diesel train called the Zephyr set the world's nonstop long-distance speed record for trains. Its run from Denver to Chicago took 13 hours, 4 minutes, 58 seconds, and was witnessed by more than a million people along the route. The total distance traveled was 1633.8 km. What was its average speed in km/h?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
1. Express the given time in seconds.
2. Then find the speed in kilometers per second, by dividing the distance by the seconds.
3. Then multiply that speed by 3600 to convert it to km/h.
That's all.
