Question

Bus X travels a distance of 360 km in 5 hours whereas bus Y travels a distance of 476 km in hours. Which bus travels faster?

Answer 1

We should first consider Bus X.
Distance travelled (d₁) = 360 km
Time taken (d₁) = 5 hr
So, we can calculate the speed as:
$\mathrm{Speed}=\frac{\mathrm{Distance}}{\mathrm{Time}}$
Thus, the speed of Bus X is 72 km/h.
Similarly,
For Bus Y:
Distance travelled
Time taken (t₂) = 7 hr
So, we can calculate the speed as:
$\mathrm{Speed}=\frac{\mathrm{Distance}}{\mathrm{Time}}$
Thus, the speed of Bus Y is 68 km/h.
Speed of Bus X is more than that of Bus Y. Hence, Bus X travels faster.
