A freight train travels 88 feet in 1 second. At this rate, how many miles will it
travel in 1 hour?
O
A. 88 miles
O
B. 30 miles
C. 60 miles
O
D. 22 miles

C. 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

88 ft x 60 seconds = 5280ft

This is because their is 60 seconds in 1 minute.

Next, we want to find this in 1 hour so that is 60 minutes. We found the train goes 5260ft in one minute, so take this times 60 minutes. This is because their is 60 minutes in an hour.

5280ft x 60 = 316800ft

We need to move this to miles, therefore you need to do a conversion.

316800 ft = 60 miles

both equations and proportions are better.
