Question

A bus covers 270km distance in 6 hours.

(i) Find the speed of the bus in km per hour.
(ii) How many kilometres does it travel in 9 hours at the same speed?
​

Answer 1

(i)= 45 KPH, (ii) = 251 miles

Explanation:

'Per' essentially means divide. Thus, to find Kilometres per hour, divide 270 by 6= 45. The bus is travelling at 45 KPH.

Then, to see how far a nine hour trip would cover, distance = speed * time = 251 miles.
