Question

A bus travels with a constant speed of 43 miles per hour. How long will take to travel 60 miles Wirte your answer as a

decimal number
hours

Answer 1

I think it will take about 78 min

Answer 2

1.395 hours

Explanation:

Time is proportional to distance, and inversely proportional to speed. The relationship is ...

time = distance/speed

For the given speed and distance, the time is ...

time = (60 mi)/(43 mi/h) = 60/43 h ≈ 1.395 h

At 43 mph, it will take about 1.395 hours to travel 60 miles.
