Question 938275
Distance = Rate * Time


D = r*t


2144 = r*8 ... plug in the distance of 2144 mi and time of 8 hrs


2144/8 = r


r = 268


The train travels at 268 mph (on avg)


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


D = r*t


560 = 268*t ... plug in the distance of 560 mi and speed of 268 mph


560/268 = t


t = 2.08955 (this is approximate)


It will take roughly 2.08955 hours
