If a train leaves for a 130 mile journey at 1.30pm, and travels at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, at what time will it arrive?
First, calculate the time taken for the train to complete its journey:
Distance = 130, Speed = 50, Time = Distance/Speed = 130/50 = 2.6 hours.
Next, use this to calculate the time of arrival:
2.6 hours = 2 hours and 36 minutes. Time of arrival is 2 hrs 36 mins after 1.30pm, which is 4.06pm
So the train will arrive at 4.06pm
