PLEASE help!!!!! 3.Ellen works for a high-speed rail company that wants to develop a new rail line. Ellen’s project is to find a train that is the second fastest in the world. The Shinkansen Bullet Train in Japan is reported to go as fast as 320 kilometers per hour. The TGV train in France can reach speeds of 89.44 meters per second. Explain to Ellen how to find what speed her new train must go to be the second fastest in this group. Then, find an appropriate speed for Ellen’s train in miles per hour and use the formula distance = speed • time to find how far the train can go in 2.5 hours

First you have to convert all the speed in the same unit.. its entirely upto you to decide.. let us convert speed of SBT train in Japan to m/sec

now to convert it we multiply it's speed by 1000/3600 \[\frac{ 320*1000 }{ 1*3600 }\]m/sec.. as 1 km =1000m and 1 hr = 3600 sec
