Question
Alex covered a 600 miles journey in 10 hours. If he covered the first 360 miles in a train that was running at a speed of 80 miles per hour, then how much time did he spend in covering the remaining distance in a bus?
Solution
First, let's find out how long Alex spent on the train.
The train was running at a speed of 80 miles per hour and he covered 360 miles on it.
So, Time = Distance/Speed = 360 miles / 80 miles per hour = 4.5 hours
Alex spent 4.5 hours on the train.
The total time Alex spent on his journey was 10 hours. So, the time he spent on the bus would be the total time minus the time he spent on the train.
So, Time on bus = Total time - Time on train = 10 hours - 4.5 hours = 5.5 hours
So, Alex spent 5.5 hours covering the remaining distance on the bus.
