Question

A bus covers 95 km in 2 hours 30 minutes with certain speed. Find the distance it will cover in 4 hours and 15 minutes, if the bus travels with same speed throughout its journey.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the bus = 95÷2½ = 38 Km/h

Distance = 4¼ × 38 Km/h = 161.5 Km

Answer 2

Bus will cover 161.5 km in 4 hours and 15 minutes  with same speed in which it covers 95 km in 2 hours 30 minutes

Given:

• A bus covers 95 km in 2 hours 30 minutes with certain speed.

To Find:

• Distance covered in  4 hours and 15 minutes with same speed

Solution:

• Distance = Speed x Time
• 1 hr = 60 minutes

Step 1:

Convert 2 hr 30 minutes in minutes

= 2 x 60 + 30

= 150 minutes

Step 2:

Find Speed as 95 km covered in 150 minutes

= 95 / 150  

= 19 / 30  km/min

Step 3:

Convert 4 hr 15 minutes in minutes

= 4 x 60 + 15

= 255 minutes

Step 4:

Find Distance covered in 255 minutes as Speed is 19/30 km/min

=  255 x  19 / 30  km

= 85 x 19 /10  km

= 1615 / 10 km

= 161. 5 km

Hence, Bus will cover 161.5 km in 4 hours and 15 minutes
