Question 1137949: A bus with kids and a truck with their bags started moving from the school to the camp at the same time. The speed of the bus was 60 mph. The speed of the truck was 45 mph. It took kids 3 hours to reach the camp. How long did they have to wait for their bags?
1. The distance from the school to the camp is the product of the bus speed (60 mph) and the time (3 hours) :
Distance = 3*60 = 180 miles.
2. Time for the truck is the distance divided by the average speed of the truck
t = = 4 hours. ANSWER
