Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the speed of the bus.

From the information given, the bus needs to cover a distance of 240 km in less than 5 hours. The formula for calculating the speed of the bus, s is expressed as

Speed, s = distance covered by the bus/ time taken to cover the distance

Therefore,

Speed, s = 240/5 = 48 km/hr

A higher speed would ensure the bus covers the distance in less than 5 hours. Therefore, the inequality that represents the speed (s) of the bus would be

s ≥ 48
