Question

A bus is going 44 miles an hour from one town to another. The bus arrives 7 minutes late. How many miles apart are the two towns?

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the distance be x miles

the difference in time taken between two towns = 7 minutes

44 - x = 49

x = 49 - 44

x = 5 miles

Therefore , the distance between two towns is 5 miles .
