Answer:
The second city is 54 miles behind the first city
Step-by-step explanation:
The first bus is assumed to go ahead of the second bus and is moving at 54 mph. The second bus is moving at a speed such as 54 mph is 60% (0.6) of its speed.
The speed of the second bus is then 54/0.6 = 90 mph
When 1 and a half hour has passed, the first bus has moved a distance of
= 81 miles
The second bus (behind the first bus) has moved
= 135 miles
The problem states they both meet in that time, it can only be possible if the second bus departed a distance 135 - 81 = 54 miles behind the first city
So, the second city is 54 miles behind the first city

Step-by-step explanation:
Using two unit multiplier 628 km is equal to 62800000 cm
<u>Solution:</u>
628 kilometer to centimeter
We will go from kilometers to meters to centimeters.
Start by putting 628 km over 1:
We want to get rid of km and bring in m.
We know that 1000 m = 1 km.
Since km is in the numerator, we will make the first unit multiplier by putting 1 km in the denominator and 1000 m in the numerator, so the km will cancel. So we multiply by the unit multiplier,
Now the km's will cancel:
Now we want to get rid of m and bring in cm.
We know that 100 cm = 1 m.
Since meter is in the numerator, we will make the first unit multiplier by putting 1 meter in the denominator and 100 cm in the numerator, so the meter's will cancel. So we multiply by the unit multiplier
We cancel the m's and we end up with:
= 62800000 cm
Thus 628 km is equal to 62800000 cm
