Answer:

The bus travels at 48 miles per hour.

Explanation:

It is given that:

Distance between school and house = 8 miles

Time taken by bus = 10 minutes =
$(10)/(60)=(1)/(6)\ hour$

Speed of bus =
(distance)/(time)

Speed of bus =
(8)/((1)/(6))

Speed of bus = 8*6 miles per hour

Speed of bus = 48 miles per hour

Therefore,

The bus travels at 48 miles per hour.
