Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, speed is given by this formula;

Speed=distance/time

Making time the subject of formula, we have:

Time = distance/speed

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Time = 20/35

Time = 0.571 hours.

Answer:

Time, t = 0.57 hours or 34 minutes and 12 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:
Speed of the school bus, s = 35 mi/hr
Distance covered by the bus, d = 20 miles

Speed(s) is equal to Distance over Time (s=d/t)
Meaning time is equal to distance over speed (t=d/s)


plugging our given information into the formula, we know Time is equal to 20 over 35 (t=20/35)


20/35=0.57, so
t = 0.57 hours

the time taken by the bus to reach school is 0.57 hours or 34 minutes and 12 seconds.
