Question

It took 1.5 hours for a bus to go from one city to the next the bus traveled at an average velocity of 52 mph, west how far apart were the two cities

Answer 1

78 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The average velocity of the bus is given by:

`v=(d)/(t)`

where

d is the displacement (the distance between the two cities)

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have

t = 1.5 h

v = 52 mph

So, we can solve the formula to find d, the distance between the cities:

`d=vt=(52 mph)(1.5 h)=78 mi`
