Distance(d)=time(t)*rate(r)
t=25 h
r= 50m/h
d=25*50=1250
We have to find on the figure a station which is 1250 miles from station w
Ans: B
t=25 h
r= 50m/h
d=25*50=1250

Given: The train traveled for 25 hours at a speed of 50 mph
Distance = (speed)(time) = (50 mph)(25 hours) = 1250 miles
So, we need to find a path to station W that is 1250 miles long.
If we travel from station U to V to W, the total distance is 1250 miles
So the train must have started its journey at station U.
Answer: B
