Answer:
96 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of car = 87 km/h
Time = 20 minutes = [tex]\frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3}\ hrs[/tex]
Distance traveled by bus = 3 km more than that of traveled by car
To find
Average speed of bus = ?
Solution:
Formula for distance traveled is given as:
[tex]Distance = Speed \times Time[/tex]
So, distance traveled by car in 20 minutes = 87 [tex]\times \frac{1}3[/tex] = 29 km
As per given statement, distance traveled by bus = 29 + 3 = 32 km
Time taken = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\ hrs[/tex]
Using the formula:
[tex]Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Speed of the bus =
[tex]\frac{32}{\frac{1}3} = \bold{96\ km/h}[/tex]
