To find the rate at which the bus is traveling, we need to calculate the average speed using the distances traveled and the corresponding times.

Average speed = total distance / total time

Total distance = 240 miles
Total time = 4 hours

Average speed = 240 miles / 4 hours = 60 mph

Therefore, the rate at which the bus is traveling is 60 mph.

Correct response: 60 mph
