Question 673243: A train travels 75 feet in 1/4 seconds. At this same speed, how many feet will it travel in 5 seconds? Answer by rm29924(97) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! use the formula distance=rate x time
the distance is 75 ft
the time is 1/4 seconds
let r=rate
75=r1/4
rewrite 1/4 as .25
75=r.25
divide both sides by .25
300=r
the train is moving 300 ft per second
to find out how many feet it travelled in 5 seconds we multiply 300x5
answer: it will travel 1,500 ft in 5 seconds
