Answer: 78 metres
Explanation:
The average velocity of the bus refers to the rate of change of its distanced travelled in the westward direction per unit time.
Thus, Velocity V = Distance travelled (D)/ time taken (T)
Then, average velocity = 52 metres per hour (mph)
Time taken = 1.5 hour
To get the distance travelled (D), make it the subject formula
D = V x T
D = velocity x time taken
D = 52 mph x 1.5 hour
D = 78 metres
Thus, the bus traveled a distance of 78 metres between the two cities.
