a bus trip covers 191 km and takes 4 hours and 15 miniutes. What is the average speed of the bus in kilometers per hour?
191/4.25=44.9 km/hr
15 minutes = a quarter hour
191/ 4.25= 44.9 km/ hr
15 minutes = a quarter hour
191/4.25 = ?
To find the average speed of the bus in kilometers per hour, we first need to calculate the total time in hours.
Given:
Distance = 191 km
Time = 4 hours 15 minutes
Convert the 15 minutes into hours:
15 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.25 hours
Add the hours and minutes to get the total time in hours:
4 hours + 0.25 hours = 4.25 hours
Now, to calculate the average speed, divide the distance traveled by the time taken:
Average Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Average Speed = 191 km ÷ 4.25 hours
Calculating this, we get:
Average Speed = 44.94 km/h (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the average speed of the bus is approximately 44.94 kilometers per hour.
