Question

You are a bus driver and are scheduled to depart from Terminal A at 9:18 a.M. And arrive at Terminal B at 10:03 a.M. You arrive at a stop on your route at 9:58 a.M., and you have 5 more stops remaining, including your arrival at Terminal B. Average travel time between stops is 2 minutes, and loading and unloading takes an average of 1 minute. How many minutes past your scheduled arrival time should you expect to arrive at Terminal B?

Answer 1

The bus driver should expect to arrive 10 minutes past the scheduled arrival time at Terminal B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many minutes past the scheduled arrival time the bus driver should expect to arrive at Terminal B, we first need to calculate the total travel time for the remaining stops.

Since the bus arrives at a stop at 9:58 a.m. and there are 5 more stops remaining, the total time spent at the stops would be 5 stops x (2 minutes travel time + 1 minute loading/unloading time) = 15 minutes.

Adding this to the current time, the expected arrival time at Terminal B would be 9:58 a.m. + 15 minutes = 10:13 a.m.

Since the scheduled arrival time at Terminal B is 10:03 a.m., the bus driver should expect to arrive 10:13 a.m. - 10:03 a.m. = 10 minutes past the scheduled arrival time.

Answer 2

9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

departure terminal A : 9:18 a.M

arrive terminal B : 10:03 a.M

time between B and A : 60 minutes (1 hour) - 18 minutes + 3 minutes = 45 minutes

arrive to a stop at : 9:58 a.M

time between A and stop : 58 minutes - 18 minutes = 40 minutes

5 mores tops including B

a stop - 1 stop next -2 stops next -3 stops next -4 stops next -B

average time between stops: 2 minutes

loading unloading time : 1 minute

a stop 40 minutes + (2 minutes to stop 1 + 1 minute in stop 1 )+ (2 minutes to stop 2 + 1 minute in stop 2 )+ (2 minute to stop 3 + 1 minute in stop 3 )+ (2 minutes to stop 4 + 1 minute in stop 4 )+ (2 minutes to stop B)

40 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2+ 1 + 2+1 +2=54 minutes

real time between terminal B and A : 54 minutes

schedule time between terminal B and A : 45 minutes

minutes past scheduled time to arrive at Terminal B: 54 minutes -45 minutes=

9 minutes
