The shanghai MaglevMail train is one of the fastest trains in the world, traveling about 2144 miles in 8 hours A. How many miles does it travel in one hour? B. The distance between Columbus, Ohio and new York city is about 560 miles. How many hours would it take the train to travel between the cities?

A. To find out how many miles the Shanghai Maglev train travels in one hour, you divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

The train travels 2144 miles in 8 hours, so to find the distance per hour: Distance per hour = Total distance / Total time

Distance per hour = 2144 miles / 8 hours

Distance per hour = 268 miles per hour

So, the Shanghai Maglev train travels 268 miles in one hour.

B. To find out how many hours it would take for the train to travel between Columbus, Ohio and New York City, which is 560 miles apart, you divide the distance to be traveled by the speed of the train.

The train travels at 268 miles per hour, so to find the time taken: Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 560 miles / 268 miles per hour

Time ≈ 2.09 hours

It would take the train approximately 2.09 hours to travel between Columbus, Ohio and New York City. This is under the assumption that the train could maintain its top speed throughout the journey without any stops or slow-downs, which is not typically the case in real-world scenarios.
