Question

A bus travels 200 kilometres north in 2.5 hours. What is the speed of the bus?​

Answer 1

Answer:

200 / 2.5

= is the correct answer80 km/h

Answer 2

Given :-

Distance travelled by the bus = 200 km

Time taken by the bus to travel = 2.5 hours

To Find :-

The speed of the bus.

Analysis :-

Here we are given with the distance and the time taken by the bus.

In order to find the speed of the bus substitute the values accordingly such that speed is equal to distance divided by time.

Now you can easily find the speed of the bus.

Solution :-

We know that,

• s = Speed
• d = Distance
• t = Time

Using the formula,

$\underline{\boxed{\sf Speed = \dfrac{Distance \ covered}{Time \ taken} }}$

Given that,

Distance (d) = 200 km

Time (t) = 2.5 hours

Substituting their values,

⇒ s = d/t

⇒ s = 200/2.5

⇒ s = 80 km/h

Therefore, the speed of the bus is 80 km/h.
