Default A train travels 1 mile in 3 minutes, 20 seconds. At this rate, how many miles will the train travel in 1 hour?

Given:
t = 3 minutes & 20 second or 3min(1 hr/60 min) + 20sec(1hr/3600 sec) = 0.06 hr

Find:
d = vt
d = (1mi/0.06 hr)1 hr
d = 16.7 mi ANS

Hope I help

trian goes 1 miles in 3 minutes,20seconds
train goes 1 miles for 200seconds

if it travels 1 miles in 200 seconds
it will travel x miles in 1 hour or 3600 seconds

using the ratio method

x=3600
1=200

x = 3600 *1/200
x= 18

so the train will travel 18 miles in 1 hour.

thank you.

200sec<------>1 mile
3600 sec<---->3600 / 200 x 1 miles = 18 miles

Will travel 18 miles in 1 hour.
