The rest stops the driver made are included in the calculations because that is the problem is defined. However, suppose the bus driver's manager wants to know the average speed at which the driver was actually driving the bus that day while he was on the road. In this case, the rest stops wouldn't count, because the bus wasn't moving during those intervals. Recalculate the speed omitting the rest stops. What was the average speed while the bus was in motion? (hint: if the total time does not come out to an even number of hours, convert the hours to a decimal value before solving the formula. For example, an hour and a quarter becomes 1.25 hours.)

This is not a complete question. Other numerical facts about the bus trip must have been provided which you have omitted.

69.6km/h

To calculate the average speed while the bus was in motion, we need to exclude the time spent at the rest stops.

Here are the steps to calculate the average speed:

1. Determine the total time spent on the road. This can be calculated by subtracting the combined time spent at the rest stops from the total travel time. Let's say the total travel time was 5 hours and 30 minutes (5:30), and the time spent at rest stops was 30 minutes (0:30). The total time on the road would be 5 hours (5:30 - 0:30).

2. Convert the total time on the road to decimal hours. In this case, 5 hours is equal to 5.0 hours.

3. Calculate the total distance traveled during the time on the road. Let's say the total distance traveled was 300 miles.

4. Use the formula: average speed = total distance / total time. In this case, the average speed would be 300 miles / 5.0 hours = 60 miles per hour.

Therefore, the average speed while the bus was in motion is 60 miles per hour.
