iF MAN RUNS AN HOUR AND A HALF AT 8 MILES AN HOUR DUE SOUTH, AND THEN HE CONTINUES SOUTH ON A BUS TRAVELING AT 55 MILES AN HOUR , FOR 24 MINUTES. hOW FAR DID HE TRAVEL?
1.5 * 8 = 12 miles running
55/60 = x/24
60x = 1320
x = 1320/60
x = 22 miles
22 + 12 = ?
30
To calculate the total distance the man traveled, we need to consider the distance he covered by running and the distance he covered on the bus.
First, let's calculate the distance covered by running for an hour and a half at 8 miles per hour.
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 8 miles/hour x 1.5 hours
Distance = 12 miles
Next, let's calculate the distance covered on the bus for 24 minutes at 55 miles per hour.
To calculate the distance, we need to convert 24 minutes to hours by dividing it by 60.
Time = 24 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour
Time = 0.4 hours
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 55 miles/hour x 0.4 hours
Distance = 22 miles
Finally, we can calculate the total distance traveled by adding the distance covered by running and the distance covered on the bus.
Total Distance = Distance from Running + Distance from Bus
Total Distance = 12 miles + 22 miles
Total Distance = 34 miles
Therefore, the man traveled a total distance of 34 miles.
