2.5
a) 55 miles
b) 44 miles
c) 30 miles
d) 22 miles

Answer 1

The bus travels at a rate of 4.44 miles per hour. In the next 5 hours, it will travel 22 miles, which is answer choice (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked how many miles a bus will travel in the next 5 hours if it has already traveled 111 miles in 25 hours. First, we need to determine the rate of travel by dividing the total distance by the total time. That gives us 111 miles / 25 hours = 4.44 miles per hour. Then we can calculate the distance for the next 5 hours by multiplying the rate by the time: 4.44 miles/hour * 5 hours = 22.2 miles. Since we can only travel whole miles, the bus will travel 22 miles in the next 5 hours, which corresponds to answer choice (d).
