Question

a bus covered a distance of 480km in 8 hours and a train covered a distance of 1200km in 10 hours.which one is travelling faster bus or train.​

Answer 1

Answer

Train is faster than the bus because the bus travels 60 km in 1 hour and the train travels 120 km in 1 hour.

Answer 2

The train is traveling faster with a speed of 120 km/h.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given: Distance traveled by bus = 480 km

Time traveled = 8 hours

Distance traveled by train = 1200 km

Time traveled = 10 hours

To Find: Which one is traveling faster, bus or train

Solution:

• Speed of bus

Given the distance of train 480 km traveled in 8 hours, the speed is given by;

$\text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{speed} = \frac{\text{480}}{\text{8}} = 60 \ \text{km/h}$

• Speed of train

Given the distance of train 480 km traveled in 8 hours, the speed is given by;

$\text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{speed} = \frac{\text{1200}}{\text{10}} = 120 \ \text{km/h}$

Hence, the train is traveling faster with a speed of 120 km/h while the bus is traveling with 60 km/h.
