Question 1024108: The school students are taking a trip to New York City. New York City is 275 miles away from us. How long will the bus take to reach New York City if the average speed of the bus is 50 miles per hour.
i tried division but that does not work. 245 divided by 50 = 4.9

Hi there,
Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 275/50
Time = 5.5 hours
or 5 hours and 30 minutes
Hope this helps :-)
