A bus travels at a speed of 60 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 minutes?

15 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

the distance travelled by bus in 15 minutes = 15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The speed of the bus = 60 miles per hour

To find :

The distance travelled by the bus in 15 minutes

Solution :

Since the speed of the bus  = 60 mile per hour

First we have to change 15 minutes into hours

15 minutes = $\frac{15}{60}$ hours

15 minutes = $\frac{1}{4}$ hours

So the distance travelled by the bus in 15 minutes = $60\ \text{x} \ \frac{1}{4}$  miles

                                 = $\frac{60}{4}$

                                 = 15 miles

Hence the distance travelled by bus in 15 minutes = 15 miles
