The average speed of a bus is three-fifth the average speed of a car which covers 3250 kms, in 65 hours. What is the average speed of the bus?
Explanation
Distance = 3250 km
Time = 65 hours
Average speed of car = Distance / Time
= 3250 / 65
= 50 km/h
Given that the average speed of the bus is 3/5 of the car's speed:
Average speed of bus = (3/5) * 50
= 30 km/h
