Question

On the way home, the bus travels at a rate of 35 miles per hour. At this rate, the bus will be traveling miles in 15 minutes.

Answer 1

8.75 miles

Explanation:

using the relationship, between distance (D), speed (S) and time (T)

D = ST

given speed (rate) is 35 miles per hour and time = 15 minutes = 0.25 hours, then

D = 35 × 0.25 = 8.75

the bus will have travelled 8,75 miles in 15 minutes

Answer 2

8.75 miles

Explanation:

To find out how far the bus will travel in 15 minutes at a rate of 35 miles per hour, we can use the formula:

`\boxed{\boxed{\sf \textsf{Distance} = \textsf{Rate} * \textsf{Time} }}`

In this case:

- Rate = 35 miles per hour

- Time = 15 minutes (which needs to be converted to hours by dividing by 60, as there are 60 minutes in an hour)

`\sf \textsf{Distance} = 35 \, \textsf{mph} * \left((15)/(60)\right) \, \textsf{hours}`

`\sf \textsf{Distance} = 35 \, \textsf{mph} * 0.25 \, \textsf{hours}`

`\sf \textsf{Distance} = 8.75 \, \textsf{miles}`

So, at a rate of 35 miles per hour, the bus will travel 8.75 miles in 15 minutes.
