You can put this solution on YOUR website!
T first thing you want to do is find the speed of the train.
Speed = distance/time
Currently the speed is 400miles/4hours.
This can be simplified to 100miles/1hour.
Now to find the distance traveled you use:
distance = speed * time
distance = 100miles/hour*6.5hours
distance = 650miles
