Given:

Car covers 560 km in 8 hours ⇒ Speed of car = 560 ÷ 8 = 70 km/h

Speed of bike = (5/7) × 70 = 50 km/h

Speed of bike : Speed of train = 5 : 9

Formula used:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

If ratio of speeds is known, actual speed can be found

Calculation:

Let speed of train = (9/5) × speed of bike = (9/5) × 50 = 90 km/h

Distance by train in 5 hours = 90 × 5 = 450 km

∴ The train covers 450 km in 5 hours.
