Question

$\text{A bus travelled 30 mi in}\frac{3}{4}\text{of an hour}.$ $\text{Find the distance covered by the bus in}$
$\text{5 hrs.}$

• A. 50 mi
• B. 200 mi
• C. 100 mi
• D. 40 mi

Answer 1

The correct option is B 200 mi

$\text{Distance travelled = 30 mi}$

$\text{Time taken =}\frac{3}{4}\text{hrs}$

$\text{Distance travelled in 1 hr =}\frac{\text{Distance travelled}}{\text{Time taken}}$

$=\frac{30}{\frac{3}{4}}$

$=30\times \frac{4}{3}$

$=40\text{mi}$

$\text{Distance travelled in 5 hrs = Distance covered in one hr}\times 5$

$=40\times 5$

$=200$ mi
