A bus travels 18 miles in 15 minutes. At the same rate, what distance will the bus travel in 50 minutes?
18/15 = x/50
Cross multiply and solve for x.

To find the distance the bus will travel in 50 minutes, we can use the concept of speed.
We know that the bus travels 18 miles in 15 minutes. So, to find the rate at which the bus travels, we can divide the distance by the time.
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 18 miles / 15 minutes
Rate = 1.2 miles per minute
Now that we know the rate at which the bus travels, we can determine the distance it will travel in 50 minutes.
Distance = Rate × Time
Distance = 1.2 miles per minute × 50 minutes
Distance = 60 miles
Therefore, the bus will travel 60 miles in 50 minutes.
