Max made a journey of 700km partly by train and partly by bus.He started his journey at 8.00am. by train which travelled at 50km/hr. After alighting from the train, he took a lunch break of 30 minutes. He then continued his journey by bus which travelled at 75km/hr.The whole journey took 11.75hours. Determine the distance travelled by bus.
so this is the answer time taken by the train=x time taken by the bus=y subtract 30 minutes from the total time taken..hence x+y=10.75 form an equation x+y=10.75 50x+75y=700 y=6.5 75×6.5=487.5
