Question

C)
A bus drives for 3/2 hours at an average speed of 56 mph.
How far does the bus drive?

Answer 1

196 miles

Explanation:

To find the distance that the bus drives, we can use the formula:

distance = rate x time

where rate is the average speed and time is the duration of the trip.

In this case, the average speed of the bus is 56 mph and the duration of the trip is 3 1/2 hours. However, it is easier to work with time in terms of a single unit, so let's convert 3 1/2 hours to 7/2 hours:

3 1/2 hours = (2 x 3) + 1/2 hours = 7/2 hours

Now we can plug in the values into the formula:

distance = rate x time

distance = 56 mph x 7/2 hours

We can simplify by multiplying 56 by 7 and then dividing by 2:

distance = (56 x 7) / 2 = 196 miles

Therefore, the bus drives 196 miles.

Answer 2

The bus drives 84 miles

Explanation:

The question relates to relationship between average speed and time

The given parameters are;

The time duration in which the bus drives = 3/2 hours = 1.5 hours

The average speed of the bus = 56 mph

The formula average speed is given as follows;

`Average \ speed = (The \ total \ distance \ driven)/(The \ time \ duration \ of \ travel)`

Therefore, we have;

The total distance driven = Average speed × The time duration of travel

The total distance driven = The distance the bus drives

Substituting the given values, gives;

The distance the bus drives = 56 miles/hour × 1.5 hours = 84 miles

The distance the bus drives = 84 miles.
