Answer:

The bus travels at an average rate of 40 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

  • Distance traveled (d): 40 miles
  • Time elapsed (t): 1 hour
  • Average rate at which the bus travels (r): to be found

We can find r using the following expression.

d = r × t

r = d/t = 40mi/1 h = 40mi/h = 40 mph

The bus travels at an average rate of 40 mph.
