Speed is expressed as a ratio of distance and time. The distance is usually measured in kilometers or miles. The length of time is usually one hour. Therefore, a vehicle could be travelling at, for example, 60 miles (distance) per hour (time). Suppose you want to convert the speed of the vehicle travelling at 60 miles per hour (m/hr), to find out how far the vehicle will travel in a different unit of time, for example a minute instead of an hour. All you have to do is convert the hour to minutes, and divide the speed by that number. Divide the speed (60) by the minutes in an hour hour (60) and the result is 1. In this example, the vehicle's speed is one mile per minute. (This was an easy example because, coincidentally, the vehicle is travelling at 60 m/hr and there are 60 minutes in an hour.)

What is the speed of a train which covers 50 km in 5 minutes?
The train's speed is 372.8 mph or about 600km/h
How many minutes is to travel 89 miles on a train?
(60 x 89)/(train's speed in mph)
A train traveled ten miles in 6 minutes. At this rate how far will it travel in twenty minutes?
33.333 miles.
Train travels at 226 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes what is the average speed of the train?
distance = rate x times; distance = 226 miles, time = 2 hours and 30 minutes = 2.5 hoursrate = distance/timerate = 226 mi/2.5 hrrate = 90.4 mi/hr
What rate of speed is 2.4 miles in 30 minutes?
It is: 4.8 mph
A train is travelling at a constant speed of 150 km per hour. How long will it take the train to travel a distance of 100 km at this speed?
It would take 40 minutes !
A train is traveling at 60 mph if the rate of speed increases 4 mph each hour how long will it be before the ship is traveling at a rate of 80 mph?
A train is traveling at 60 mph. If the rate of speed increases 4 mph each hour, how long will it be before the ship is traveling at a rate of 80 mph?
What the average speed for a train if it travels at 210 km in 1 hour and 45 minutes?
Hints: speed = (distance) / (time) You need to convert 1 hour + 45 minutes into a single unit, such as hours or minutes.
What is the rate of speed walking 1.9 miles in 30 minutes?
3.8 mph
how would an observer on train a witch is moving at nearly the speed of light view o'clock on train be which is moving at the same speed and in the same direction?
The clock on train B would appear to be the same width and to run at the same rate
If a train travels for 4 5 hours at a rate of 40 mph what is the distance the train will travel?
Just multiply the 45 hours by the speed.
How long will it take to travel 20km by train?
It depends on the speed at which the train is traveling. At 100 km/h it will take approximately 20 minutes.
