Speed = Distance / Time
Given that the trains cover a distance of 69 miles in 35 minutes, we need to convert the time to hours. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so:
Time = 35 minutes = 35 / 60 = 0.583 hours
Now, we can calculate the speed:
Speed = 69 miles / 0.583 hours ≈ 118.36 mph
Therefore, the Chunnel trains travel at approximately 118.36 miles per hour.
