If a train leaves a station traveling at 45 mph, how long will it take to travel 90 miles?

  1. 1 hour

  2. 2 hours

  3. 3 hours

  4. 4 hours

The correct answer is: 2 hours

To determine how long it will take for a train traveling at 45 mph to cover a distance of 90 miles, you can use the formula for time, which is derived from the formula for distance: Time = Distance ÷ Speed. In this case, the distance is 90 miles and the speed is 45 miles per hour. Plugging these values into the formula gives: Time = 90 miles ÷ 45 mph = 2 hours. This calculation shows that the train will take 2 hours to travel 90 miles at a constant speed of 45 mph. The correct answer reflects this calculation accurately.
