Find the distance between A and B.


Sagot :

To find the distance between station A and station B, we need to follow these steps:

1. Determine the speed of the train:
- We know that the train covers 440 km in 5 hours.
- To find the speed, divide the distance by the time taken.

[tex]\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{440 \text{ km}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 88 \text{ km/h} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the distance between station A and station B:
- The train travels for 12 hours from station A to station B.
- To find the total distance, multiply the speed of the train by the time taken.

[tex]\[ \text{Distance from A to B} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 88 \text{ km/h} \times 12 \text{ hours} = 1056 \text{ km} \][/tex]

Thus, the distance between station A and station B is 1056 km.
