Question

C) A bus drives for 3/2 hours at an average speed of 56 mph. How far does the bus drive?

Answer 1

Answer:

The bus drives 84 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to relationship between average speed and time

The given parameters are;

The time duration in which the bus drives = 3/2 hours = 1.5 hours

The average speed of the bus = 56 mph

The formula average speed is given as follows;

$Average \ speed = \dfrac{The \ total \ distance \ driven}{The \ time \ duration \ of \ travel}$

Therefore, we have;

The total distance driven = Average speed × The time duration of travel

The total distance driven = The distance the bus drives

Substituting the given values, gives;

The distance the bus drives = 56 miles/hour × 1.5 hours = 84 miles

The distance the bus drives = 84 miles.
