Question 628061
d = rt


d = 100*(2.5) ... Note: 2 1/2 hrs = 2.5 hrs


d = 250 


So the first train went 250 miles


-------------------------------------------------------


d = rt


d = 50(1.75) ... Note: 1 hr 45 min = 1.75 hrs


d = 87.5


and the second train went 87.5 miles.



So in total, the two trains went 250+87.5 = <font color="red">337.5 miles</font> total
