A bus makes 28 stops every 2 hours. How many stops does it make in 3 hours? in 4 hours?
Please help me!
ok im here in case your about to close the tab ima type it now
in 3 hours its 42 and in 4 hours its 56 stops
explanation if anybody wants
(every 1 hour its 14 stops because you can divide and just do 14 times whatever ammount of hours to get how many stops)
exe if its 5 hours do 5*14 and thats the answer
To calculate the number of stops the bus makes in a given time period, we can set up a proportion based on the information given.
Let's first calculate the number of stops the bus makes in 1 hour.
Since the bus makes 28 stops every 2 hours, we can divide the total number of stops (28) by the total number of hours (2) to find the number of stops per hour:
28 stops / 2 hours = 14 stops per hour
Now let's use this information to calculate the number of stops in 3 hours:
Number of stops in 3 hours = (14 stops/hour) x (3 hours)
To find the total number of stops, we multiply the rate of stops per hour (14 stops/hour) by the number of hours (3 hours):
Number of stops in 3 hours = 14 stops/hour x 3 hours = 42 stops
So the bus makes 42 stops in 3 hours.
Similarly, we can calculate the number of stops in 4 hours:
Number of stops in 4 hours = (14 stops/hour) x (4 hours)
Number of stops in 4 hours = 14 stops/hour x 4 hours = 56 stops
Therefore, the bus makes 56 stops in 4 hours.
