Solution

The total travel time of the train is 5 hours. The train takes 1 3/5 of the total travel time to reach the first stop.

Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction 1 3/5 to an improper fraction. 1 3/5 = 5/5 + 3/5 = 8/5

Step 2: Multiply the total travel time by the fraction to find the time it takes to reach the first stop. 5 hours * 8/5 = 8 hours

So, the train takes 8 hours to reach the first stop.
