Question 676731: A bus travels from buffalo to Albany stopping at Rocheter and Syracuse. At each city there is a 30 minute stopover to unload and load passengers and baggage. The driving distance from buffalo to Rochester is 75 miles, from Rochester to Syracuse is 85 miles, and from Syracuse to Albany is 145 miles. The bus travels at an average speed of 50 miles per hour.
Solve the formula D=rt for t to find the time needed for each part of the trip
Make a schedule for the times of arrival and departures for each city if the bus leaves buffalo at 9:00 AM. Please help! I need this for tomorrow. Thanks again

To Rochester:             

To Syracuse:              

To Albany:                

1.5 hours is 1 hour  30 minutes.  (.5 times 60 is 30)
1.7 hours is 1 hour  42 minutes.  (.7 times 60 is 42)
2.9 hours is 2 hours 54 minutes.  (.9 times 60 is 54)
