Answer:
46 1/2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Bus traveled at a constant speed ;
Miles traveled = 15 1/2 miles
Time taken for the travel = 1/3 of an hour
Number of miles bus will travel in 1 hours :
Let number of miles traveled in 1 hour = n
15 1/2 miles = 1/3 hour
n miles = 1 hour
Cross multiply :
1/3 * n = 15 1/2 * 1
1/3n = 31/2
Divide both sides by 1/3
n = 31/2 ÷ 1/3
n = 31/2 * 3/ 1
n = 93/2
n = 46.5 miles = 46 1/2 miles
