Question

to get to work truman waited 11 minutes for the bus, then travled 21.78 miles on the bus at a speed of 33 miles per hour how much time passed from the time Truman left for work to the time he arrived at work

Answer 1

Truman took approximately 51 minutes to get to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total time it took Truman to travel to work, we need to consider the time he waited for the bus and the time it took to travel the distance.

1. Truman waited 11 minutes for the bus.
2. The distance traveled on the bus is 21.78 miles.
3. Truman's speed on the bus was 33 miles per hour.
4. To calculate the time taken to travel the distance, we can use the formula:
   
   Time = Distance / Speed
   
   
5. Time taken to travel = 21.78 miles / 33 miles per hour
6. This gives us a total of approximately 0.66 hours.
7. To convert the time to minutes, we multiply by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour), which gives us approximately 40 minutes.
8. Adding the 11 minutes Truman waited for the bus, the total time passed from the time Truman left for work to the time he arrived at work is approximately 51 minutes.

Answer 2

We have 11 as our base value, meaning that we add 11 to something, so we have 11+<something>. To find that something, we want to know how long it takes to go 21.78 miles at 33 miles per hour. To get this, we want to turn miles per hour into minutes per mile and multiply that by 21.78 miles to get our answer. Therefore, we cross them out as shown in the equation to get
`(21.78 miles)/(1) * (1 hour)/(33 miles) * (60 minutes)/(1 hour)`
