Question

The bus travels the same exact route each week, making 9 round trips from terminal Springfield to Burlington. If the bus travels 3,105 miles each week, how long is the bus route

Answer 1

Answer:

The bus route from Springfield to Burlington is 172.5 miles long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the bus route be x.

Distance covered by bus from Springfield to Burlington = x

Distance covered by bus from Burlington to Springfield = x

Distance covered in 1 round = x + x = 2x

Total distance covered by bus in 9 round = 9 × 2x = 18x

Given that bus traveled a total distance of 3,105 miles

$18x=3,105 miles$

$x=\frac{3,105 miles}{18}=172.5 miles$

The bus route from Springfield to Burlington is 172.5 miles long.
