Bus A travels at an average speed of 50 mph and makes no stops. Bus B goes 58 mph and has to make a 10-minute stop for fuel.
If the trip is 330 miles, which bus is the first to arrive and by how many minutes?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bus A spends 330%2F50 = 33%2F5 hours for the trip.


Bus B spends 330%2F58%2B1%2F6 hours (1%2F6 of an hour = 10 minutes).


Compare these two numbers, 33%2F5 and 330%2F58+%2B+1%2F6.
