Answer 1

To determine the number of Avis Company buses traveling to and from the Los Angeles Airport, divide the round-trip time (20 minutes) by the bus dispatch frequency (4 minutes), which equals 5 buses in operation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the number of buses Avis Company uses to travel to and from the Los Angeles Airport, given certain time constraints.

To deduce this, we need to calculate based on the given round-trip time and the frequency of dispatch. Since a bus is dispatched every 4 minutes and the average round-trip takes 20 minutes, we can figure out the number of buses in operation by dividing the round-trip time by the dispatch frequency.

Here's the calculation: 20 minutes round-trip divided by 4 minutes per dispatch equals 5 buses.

This means that at any given time, there are 5 Avis buses making round trips to and from the airport.
