Question

the distance between my house and my school is 8 miles and takes 10 minutes by bus.How fast is the bus?​

Answer 1

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.
