Answer:

200/67.1224321241 = 2.97962981482 hours to travel 200 miles.

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the speed of the bus back to km/h so it makes things easier. The bus is going at an unreasonably high seed of 108 km/h and will usually result in a crash caused by the driver being unable to control the bus at such high speeds, even it won’t topple over at an inclination of 28 degrees for double decker buses (when the bus is stationary. If the prototypes can’t meet this requirement, the prototype fails the safety test and won’t be used as a bus for carrying passengers).

If you ignore that problem, we will start to do the calculation. 108 km/h is equal to 67.1224321241 mph, so it would take 200/67.1224321241 = 2.97962981482 hours to travel 200 miles.

2.97962981482 hours is equal to 2 hours, 58 minutes, 46 seconds, 667 milliseconds, 333 microseconds and 352 nanoseconds.

Here is the list of descending order of time magnitude of smaller than one second for extra information.

Decisecond = 0.1 second (one tenth)

Centisecond = 0.01 second (one hundredth)

Millisecond = 0.001 second (one thousandth)

Microsecond = 0.000001 second (one millionth)

Nanosecond = 0.000000001 second (one billionth)

Picosecond = 0.000000000001 second (one trillionth)

Femtosecond = 0.000000000000001 second (one quadrillionth)

Attosecond = 0.000000000000000001 second (one quintillionth)

Zeptosecond = 0.000000000000000000001 second (one sextillionth)

Yoctosecond = 0.000000000000000000000001 second (one septillionth)

Planck time = 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 second

Planck time is the smallest measurable time interval in theory.
