Question

Answer 1

20 mi

Explanation:

divide 360 and 9 and then divided 40 by 2

Answer 2

The bus traveled 20 miles in 0.5 hours.

Explanation:

First step, we must figure out how many miles per 1 hour the bus is traveling.

To do this we must divide 360 by 9.

`360/9= 40`

this means that per 1 hour, the bus is going 40 miles.

Now we must figure out how many miles the bus is going at 0.5 miles.

0.5 miles is equal to half 1 mile.

This means that all we have to do is multiply 40 by
`(1)/(2)` or divide it by 2.

`40/2 = 20`

`40 * (1)/(2) =20`

Now we know that,

The bus traveled 20 miles in 0.5 hours.
