Question

It took a car 6 hours to cover the distance between points A and B with the speed of 50 mph. How long will it take a bus to cover the same distance, if it travels at 40 mph?

Answer 1

Answer:

7hours and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

given a car travels with a speed of 50 miles -------->1hour

x miles -------->6hours

on cross multiplying we get the value of 'x'

x = 50×6 = 300

x=300miles

Now ,

40mls------->1h

300mls------->xh

x= 300/40

x=(3/4)×10

x= 7.5hours

x= 7½hours
