A train is running at the speed of 90 mph. The length of the train is 300 ft. How long would it take to cross a railway platform 492 ft long?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Time = 1.45152 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 foot = 0.000189 mile

300 ft = 300*0.000189

300 ft = 0.0567 miles

492 ft = 492*0.000189

492 ft = 0.092988 miles

Distance left to be covered by the train

= 0.092988-0.0567

= 0.036288 miles

Speed= 90mph

Time taken = distance/speed

Time taken= 0.036288/90

Time = 4.032*10^-4 hour

Time = 4.032*10^-4*60*60

Time = 1.45152 seconds
