A bus is travelling at an average speed of 56 km/hour. How much distance it will travel in 15 minutes?a)14 kmb)12 kmc)13 kmd)16 kmCorrect answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

If x is required distance then

Answer

First we convert 15 min into hour
= 1/60×15
=3/12 hours
Now, Distance travelled by the bus in 1hour =56 km
so, In 3/12 hours =56×3/12
=14km___
__

Answer

To calculate the distance traveled by the bus in 15 minutes, we first need to convert the time to hours since the average speed is given in km/hour.

1. Convert 15 minutes to hours:
- There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 15 minutes is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 hours.

2. Use the formula: Distance = Speed x Time
- Distance = 56 km/hour x 0.25 hours
- Distance = 14 km

Therefore, the bus will travel a distance of 14 km in 15 minutes.

Explanation:
The formula to calculate distance is Distance = Speed x Time. In this case, the speed of the bus is given as 56 km/hour and the time is given as 15 minutes. However, since the speed is given in km/hour, we need to convert the time to hours by dividing it by 60.

After converting 15 minutes to hours, we get 0.25 hours. Now we can calculate the distance by multiplying the speed (56 km/hour) by the time (0.25 hours).

Multiplying 56 km/hour by 0.25 hours gives us 14 km. Therefore, the bus will travel a distance of 14 km in 15 minutes.
