the bus route also passes through balmorhea which is 1 3rd of the way from el paso to san antoio. about how long does it take the bus to get to balmorhea
You told us the distance from El Paso to San Anotonio is 560mi, so the distance to Balmorhea = 560/3.
Using distance = rate*time
560/3 mi = 60mph*time
Solve for time.
To find the approximate time it takes for the bus to get to Balmorhea, we can use the equation distance = rate * time, where the distance is 560/3 miles and the rate is 60 mph (since we are given that the bus travels at a constant speed of 60 mph).
So, the equation becomes:
560/3 = 60 * time
To solve for time, divide both sides of the equation by 60:
(560/3) / 60 = time
Simplifying:
560/3 divided by 60 is the same as multiplying 560/3 by 1/60.
560/3 * 1/60 = time
Now, let's calculate the time it takes:
560/3 * 1/60 = 560/180 = 3.111...
Therefore, it takes approximately 3.11 hours (or about 3 hours and 7 minutes) for the bus to get to Balmorhea.
