You will wait for a bus for 2 minutes.
To determine how long you will wait for a bus, you need to calculate the time difference between your arrival time and the next bus departure time.
First, calculate the time interval between consecutive bus departures. The buses on your route run every 11 minutes.
Next, determine the time from the last bus departure until your arrival at the bus stop. Subtract the starting time (8:00 am) from your arrival time (9:15 am):
9:15 am - 8:00 am = 1 hour and 15 minutes
Now, convert the 1 hour and 15 minutes into minutes:
1 hour x 60 minutes/hour = 60 minutes
60 minutes + 15 minutes = 75 minutes
So, you arrived 75 minutes after the last bus departure.
To calculate the waiting time, subtract the time interval from the time since the last bus departure:
75 minutes - 11 minutes = 64 minutes
Therefore, you will have to wait for 64 minutes for the next bus.
