The bus will take 81 minutes to complete the trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many minutes will the bus take to complete the trip if a bus completes half a trip at 40 km per hour and the other half at 50 km per hour, and the whole trip was 60 km, the following calculation must be performed:
60/2 = 30
30/40 = 3/4 of an hour = 45 minutes
30/50 = 3/5 of an hour = 36 minutes
45 + 36 = 81
Therefore, the bus will take 81 minutes to complete the trip.
