To get to work in the morning, Amanda cycles for 10 miles at the rate of 12 mph. She makes a 10 minutes stop for a cup of coffee, and then rides a bus for 15 minutes. The speed of the bus is 45 mph. At what time will Amanda get to work if she leaves home at 8:30 AM?

9:45 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

To get to work in the morning, Amanda cycles for 10 miles at the rate of 12 mph.

Time (hours) = Distance/speed

Hence, the time she spends cycling = 10mile/12 mph

= 0.8333333333 hour

Converting to minutes:

1 hour = 60 minutes

0.8333333333 hour =

0.8333333333 hours × 60 minutes/1 hour

= 50 minutes.

Hence, she spends 50 minutes cycling

She makes a 10 minutes stop for a cup of coffee, and then rides a bus for 15 minutes. The speed of the bus is 45 mph.

The total number of minutes she spends to get to work is calculated as:

(50 + 10 + 15)minutes

= 75 minutes.

It takes Amanda 75 minutes to get to work.

At what time will Amanda get to work if she leaves home at 8:30 AM?

= 8:30AM + 75 minutes

= 8:30 AM + 1 hour 15 minutes

= 9:45 AM
