Full solution

Q. Nikki's cousin lives 6060 miles away, so Nikki decided to take the train to visit him. If the trip took 212 2 \frac{1}{2} hours, how many miles per hour did the train travel?
  1. Convert to hours: First, we need to convert the time into hours. 2122\frac{1}{2} hours is the same as 2.52.5 hours.
  2. Calculate speed formula: Next, we use the formula for speed, which is distance divided by time. So we divide 6060 miles by 2.52.5 hours.
  3. Perform calculation: Now, let's do the calculation: 6060 miles ÷\div 2.52.5 hours = 2424 miles per hour.
