A bus covers the first 50 km of its journey in 40 minutes and covers the remaining 75 km in 40 minutes. What is the average speed (in km/h) of the bus?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The formula for average speed is: Average Speed = \frac{Total Distance Covered}{Total Time Taken} Calculate the total distance: Total Distance = 50 km + 75 km = 125 km Calculate the total time: Total Time = 40 minutes + 40 minutes = 80 minutes Convert the total time from minutes into hours: Total Time in hours = \frac{80}{60} hours = \frac{4}{3} hours Now, compute the average speed: Average Speed = \frac{125}{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{125 \times 3}{4} = \frac{375}{4} km/h Average Speed = 93 \frac{3}{4} km/h
