I will select one person to teach the class 2. Now trains can travel 40 miles per hour down the 20 mile Alameda Corridor. How long does it now take trains to travel down Alameda?
52
Solution 2. Now trains can travel 40 miles per hour down the 20 mile Alameda Corridor. How long does it now take trains to travel down Alameda? d =rt 20 miles = 40 miles/hour ● t 20 miles = 40 miles/hour ● t 40miles/hour 40 miles/hour 0.5 hour = t
