45 minutes = 45 / 60 hours = 3/4 hours
Speed of the bus = 40 mph meaning in 1 hour the bus travels = 40 miles
Therefore, distance traveled in 3/4 hours = 40*3/4 miles = 30 miles
The distance travelled by the car during that time is 30 miles.
Given the following details;
To find the distance travelled by the car in that time;
First of all, we would have to convert the time in minutes to hours;
Conversion:
60 minutes = 1 hour
45 minutes = x hour
Cross-multiplying, we have;
[tex]60 * x = 45 * 1\\\\x = \frac{45}{60}[/tex]
x = 0.75 hour
Speed can be defined as the distance covered by an object per unit time. It is a scalar quantity and as such as magnitude but no direction.
Mathematically, the speed of an object is given by the formula;
[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Making distance the subject of formula, we have;
[tex]Distance = speed * time[/tex]
Substituting the values into the formula, we have;
[tex]Distance = 40 * 0.75[/tex]
Distance = 30 miles
Therefore, the distance travelled by the car during that time is 30 miles.
