Question

It took 2.5 hours for the bus to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 75.0 miles/hr. How many miles lie between the two cities?

Answer 1

The formula for distance is d=v/t so distiance equals velocity devided by time. 75.0miles per hour devided by 2.5 is equal to 30 miles. Now lets check this again. 30=75/2.5 30=30 so the answere is 30 miles apart. Have fun and enjoy !! ; )

Answer 2

Velocity of the bus = 75 miles/hr
Time taken by the bus to travel the distance between two cities = 2.5 hours
Let us assume the distance between the two cities = x
Then
Velocity = Distance/Time taken
Then Distance = Velocity * Time taken
= 75 * 2.5 miles
= 187.5 miles.
The distance between the two cities is 187.5 miles.I hope this answer is what you were looking for. This process is applicable for similar problems. In future you can always use this method to determine the answer.
