A bus travels 18 miles in 15 minutes. At the same rate, what distance will the bus travel in 50 minutes?

18/15 = x/50

Cross multiply and solve for x.

To find the distance the bus will travel in 50 minutes, we can use the concept of speed.

We know that the bus travels 18 miles in 15 minutes. So, to find the rate at which the bus travels, we can divide the distance by the time.

Rate = Distance / Time

Rate = 18 miles / 15 minutes

Rate = 1.2 miles per minute

Now that we know the rate at which the bus travels, we can determine the distance it will travel in 50 minutes.

Distance = Rate × Time

Distance = 1.2 miles per minute × 50 minutes

Distance = 60 miles

Therefore, the bus will travel 60 miles in 50 minutes.

You're welcome.
