The distance a train travels between 2 cities is 540 miles. The train travels at a speed of 80 miles per hour. Matt set up these rates to find the time it took the train to travel between the 2 cities. 80 miles 1 hour = ? hours 540 miles What was Matt’s error? The first rate should be written as 80 hours to 1 mile. The second rate should be written as a rate of distance to time. The first rate should compare miles to miles. Matt did not make an error.
