Question

c) A bus completes its journey in 14 hours with an average speed of 40 km per hour. How long does the bus take to complete the journey if its average speed is increased to 56 km per hour?​

Answer 1

Answer: 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Compute the distance for the original speed and time

distance = rate*time

distance = (40 kph)*(14 hrs)

distance = 560 km

If we increase the rate or speed to 56 kph, then,

distance = rate*time

560 km = (56 kph)*x

560 = 56x

56x = 560

x = 560/56

x = 10

The bus will travel for 10 hours if its speed is increased to 56 km per hour.

Answer 2

A bus takes 4.5 hours to complete a complete a journey at a speed of 40km/hr

So, in this case, We will find the distance first because the distance is constant.

distance-speed*time

distance=40*4.5

distance=180km

distance=180km

Now, we find the time to cover the distance at the speed of 45km/hr

time distance/speed

time=180/45

time=4hrs

Therefore, the answer is 4hrs

Hope it helps you.

Have a nice day!!
