The city buses that run in your neighborhood stop every 12 minutes. The first bus arrives at 5:00 am for passengers. You get to the bus stop at 8:37 am. How long will you have to wait for a bus?
Accepted Solution
A:
Find the number of minutes between 5:00am and 8:37am 60 mins in an hour. 8-5=3 hours 60x3=180+37=217 minutes Divide 217 by 12 to see how many bus stops have already been made 217/12=18 18*12=216 217-216=1 minute 12-1=11 minutes Therefore you will have to wait 11 minutes. Hope this helps!
