Question

Вася построил железную дорогу и вдоль нее поставил 17 станции на одинаковом расстоянии от друг друга. Поровозик стартовал у первой станции и ехал с постоянной скоростью. Через полминуты поровозик возле 5 станции. Через сколько минут от начала движения он будет на 17-й станции?

Answer 1

17/5=3,4 раза
3,4*30=102 секунды
102 сек =1 мин 42 сек

Answer 2

Problem Analysis

Vasya has built a railway with 17 stations, all equidistant from each other. A train starts at the first station and travels at a constant speed. We need to determine how many minutes it will take for the train to reach the 17th station from the start of its journey.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to gather some information from the given question. We know that the train reaches the 5th station after half a minute of travel. However, we don't have any information about the distance between the stations or the speed of the train.

Without this information, it is not possible to calculate the exact time it will take for the train to reach the 17th station. We need either the distance between the stations or the speed of the train to make this calculation.

Therefore, we cannot determine the exact time it will take for the train to reach the 17th station without additional information.

Conclusion

Without knowing the distance between the stations or the speed of the train, we cannot calculate the exact time it will take for the train to reach the 17th station. Additional information is needed to solve this problem.
