Question

Last fall, a middle school took a group of students on a trip to Space Camp, which is 360 miles away. The bus that they took to Space Camp traveled at a constant speed, and it took them 6 hours to get from the school to the camp. How many miles did the bus travel in 1 hour?

Answer 1

The bus travelled 60 miles in 1 hour.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to calculate the average speed at which the bus travelled. This is given by the distance travelled divided by the time that they took to get there. So we have:

average speed = distance/time

average speed = 360/6

average speed = 60 miles/h

Therefore in 1 hour they travelled 60 miles.
