Atrain travels 500 miles in 8 hours. assuming that the train continues to travel at a constant rate, write an equation that represents this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Given,

Distance = 500 miles,

Time = 8 hours

Thus, the speed =

Since, the train continues to travel at a constant rate,

⇒ The Distance it will cover in 1 hour = 62.5 miles,

⇒ The distance it will cover in x hours = 62.5x

Let y represents the distance cover by train in x hours,

Which is the required equation.
