if a train travels at 80 mph for 15 mins, what is the distance traveled?

Let d = distance, r = rate, and t = time, we have the distance equation:
D = rt

Plugging in our values for r and t, we have:
D = 80mph * 15 min

Remember our speed is in miles per hour, so 15 min equal 1/4 of an hour
D = 80mph * 1/4
D = 20 miles
