Train A leaves the station at 1:45 traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph. If it arrives at its destination at 3:15, how many miles did it travel?

  • A. 97.5 miles
  • B. 75 miles
  • C. 100 miles
  • D. 130 miles
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Train A traveled for 1.5 hours at a speed of 65 mph. To find the distance traveled, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Distance = 65 mph x 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 97.5 miles. Choice B (75 miles) is incorrect because it does not account for the full 1.5 hours of travel time. Choice C (100 miles) and Choice D (130 miles) are incorrect as they are not calculated based on the given speed and time.
