Respuesta :

The bus will travel 22.2 miles in the next half-hour.

If the bus can travel 111 miles in 2.5 hours, dividing those numbers tells us that the bus is traveling 44.4 hours per hour.

Therefore, if it only travels a half hour, it can go half of 44.4.

44.4 / 2 = 22.2 

Answer:

22.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\because Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Here, distance = 111 miles,

Time = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours = [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] hours

Thus, the speed of the bus = [tex]\frac{111}{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{222}{5}[/tex]

= 44.4 miles per hour,

If time = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hour,

[tex]44.4=\frac{Distance}{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies Distance = \frac{1}{2}\times 44.4 = 22.2\text{ miles}[/tex]
