A bus travels at 54km/h while moving but after accounting for stopping time, to let passengers on and off the coach, it averages a speed of 45km/h. How many minutes does the bus stop for each hour?
In one hour without stopping, the bus would have travelled 54km. Once stopping is factored in, the bus actually travels 45km. So it travels 9km less far as a consequence.
Distance/Speed = Time
9km/54kmph = 0.16 hours
0.16 x 60 = 10 minutes
So the bus stops for ten minutes in every hour on average.
