9966 [12]
By definition, the speed is given by the quotient between the distance traveled and the time it takes to travel that distance. We have then that the expression for speed is as follows
 v = d / t
 where
 d: distance
 t: time
 Substituting
 v = (90feet) / (5s) = 18feets / s
 answer

There are 120 people on the bus 50% get off at the first stop 20% get off at the second stop. The rest get off on the third stop
erastova [34]

Answer:

48 people

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many were left after the first stop:

120(0.5)

= 60

Find how many were left after the second stop:

60(0.8)

= 48

So, since the rest got off on the third stop, this means 48 people got off on the third stop.
