Question

A school bus picked up students from school at 9 AM and took them on a field trip. The distance it traveled was 240 km. The bus arrive at 12 PM. What speed was the best traveling at this trip?

Answer 1

Given:

The distance is 240 km.

The time difference from 9 AM to 12 PM is 3 hours.

To find the speed:

We know that,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \\ =\frac{240}{3} \\ =80\text{ km/h} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the speed of the bus is, 80km per hour.
