45/60=0.75. Speed*time=distance. 35(0.75)= 26.25 miles

Answer:

the bus traveled 26.25 miles

Explanation:

hello

the speed ​​is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time taken for it ,and it is given by

step 1


v=(d)/(t)

where, d is the distance traveled and t is the time it takes

now, if we isolate d


v=(d)/(t)\\d=v*t\\

step 2

convert 45 minutes into hours

60 min =1 hour

45 min= x?

x=45 h/60

x=0.75 hours

step 3

replace data


d=35 mph*0.75 hours\\d=26.25\ miles

the bus traveled 26.25 miles
