Buses on your route run every 11 minutes from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. You arrive at the bus stop at 9:15 am. How long will you wait for a bus?
A. 5 minutes
B. 11 minutes
C. 2 minutes
D. 3 minutes
To calculate the waiting time for a bus, we need to determine how many minutes have passed since the last bus departed at 9:14 am.
From 8:00 am to 9:00 am, there are 60 minutes.
From 9:00 am to 9:15 am, there are 15 minutes.
Thus, there are a total of 75 minutes that have passed since 8:00 am.
Since the buses run every 11 minutes, we can divide the total minutes passed by the minutes between each bus to find the number of completed cycles:
75 minutes ÷ 11 minutes = 6 cycles (completed)
To find the minutes remaining after the completed cycles, we multiply the number of completed cycles by the minutes between each bus:
6 cycles x 11 minutes = 66 minutes
Since 66 minutes have passed since the last bus, we subtract this from the total minutes passed to find the waiting time:
75 minutes - 66 minutes = 9 minutes
Therefore, you will need to wait for 9 minutes for the next bus.

no
I apologize for the incorrect answer. Let's re-evaluate the problem.
The buses on your route run every 11 minutes, and you arrive at the bus stop at 9:15 am.
From 8:00 am to 9:00 am, there are 60 minutes.
From 9:00 am to 9:15 am, there are 15 minutes.
Adding these together, we find that 75 minutes have passed since 8:00 am.
To determine the time of the previous bus departure, we subtract the remainder after dividing the total minutes passed by the minutes between each bus:
75 minutes % 11 minutes = 8 minutes
So, the previous bus departure was at 9:15 am - 8 minutes = 9:07 am.
To calculate the waiting time, we subtract the time of the previous bus departure from the current time:
9:15 am - 9:07 am = 8 minutes
Therefore, you will need to wait for 8 minutes for the next bus.
Option C, 2 minutes, is the most accurate representation of the waiting time from the given options.
Buses on your route run every 11 minutes from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. You arrive at the bus stop at 9:15 am. How long will you wait for a bus?
A. 5 minutes
B. 11 minutes
C. 2 minutes
D. 3 minutes
To calculate the waiting time for a bus, we need to determine how many minutes have passed since the last bus departed at 9:04 am.
From 8:00 am to 9:00 am, there are 60 minutes.
From 9:00 am to 9:15 am, there are 15 minutes.
Thus, there are a total of 75 minutes that have passed since 8:00 am.
Since the buses run every 11 minutes, we can divide the total minutes passed by the minutes between each bus to find the number of completed cycles:
75 minutes ÷ 11 minutes = 6 cycles (completed)
To find the minutes remaining after the completed cycles, we multiply the number of completed cycles by the minutes between each bus:
6 cycles x 11 minutes = 66 minutes
Since 66 minutes have passed since the last bus, we subtract this from the total minutes passed to find the waiting time:
75 minutes - 66 minutes = 9 minutes
Therefore, you will need to wait for 9 minutes for the next bus.

no it is your just not doing your math right
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate correctly.
The buses on your route run every 11 minutes, and you arrive at the bus stop at 9:15 am.
From 8:00 am to 9:00 am, there are 60 minutes.
From 9:00 am to 9:15 am, there are 15 minutes.
Adding these together, we find that 75 minutes have passed since 8:00 am.
To determine the time of the previous bus departure, we subtract the remainder after dividing the total minutes passed by the minutes between each bus:
75 minutes % 11 minutes = 9 minutes
So, the previous bus departure was at 9:15 am - 9 minutes = 9:06 am.
To calculate the waiting time, we subtract the time of the previous bus departure from the current time:
9:15 am - 9:06 am = 9 minutes
Therefore, you will need to wait for 9 minutes for the next bus.
Option D, 3 minutes, is the most accurate representation of the waiting time from the given options.
