To solve this problem, first you would figure how many miles the train moved per hour. To do this, I simply divided 180 by 4, which equals 45. Then, you can conclude the train travels 45 miles per hour. Then, I multiplied 45mph by 7 hours, and concluded that the train traveled 315 miles. To check, simply divide 315 by 7, your answer will equal 45 mph.
