Question 343345: A bus traveling at an average rate of 50 kilometers per hour made the trip to town in 6 hours. If it had traveled at 45 kilometers per hour, how many more minutes would it have taken to make the trip? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distance = speed * time
=50*6=300 km
...
Time = distance / speed
Time = 300 /45
time = 6.66 hours
..
It takes 0.66 hours more
= 0.66 *60
= 39.6 minutes
= 40 minutes
