    Train trip word problem
    A train traveled a distance of 331 kilometers between New York City and Boston. If the trip took 5 hours, what was the train's average speed in meters per second? Round to the nearest whole unit.

    First you need to figure out how many meters is 331 kilometers and how many seconds are in 5 hours, then divide the meters by the seconds to get your answer.
