Question

Renaldo catches the bus at 4:00 onto ride 3.2 miles from his house to the dentist office. He arrives at 4:30 p.m for one hour appointment then he will ride a bus traveling at the same rate of speed 4.8 miles to the soccer field. Will he be on time for his 6:30 p.m soccer practice? explain

Answer 1

The bus is traveling at 6.4 miles per hour. The appointment was 1 hour long so he gets out at 5:30. From 5:30 to 6:30 is one hour, and at that speed, the bus could go 6.4 miles within that timeframe. So yes, he has time because 6.4 is greater than 4.8.
