If a full size train travels 55 miles in one hour, how far should Bill's model train travel in one hour? Give your answer in yards.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 40 feet * 12 inches/foot = 480 in
model length = 480 / 110 = 4.36 inches
---
55 miles/hour * 5280 feet/mile * 1/3 yard/foot = 96800 yards/hour
model speed = 96800 / 110 = 880 yards/hour
