Question

At a bus station,buses depart at a rate of 3 every 10 minutes. At this rate how many buses will depart in one hour

Answer 1

To find out how many buses depart in one hour, we first need to determine how many buses depart in 10 minutes.

Given:
- Rate of departure: 3 buses every 10 minutes

Next, we can calculate the number of 10-minute intervals in one hour:

1 hour = 60 minutes
Number of 10-minute intervals in 60 minutes = 60 / 10 = 6 intervals

Now, we can calculate the total number of buses that will depart in one hour:

Total buses = Number of intervals × Buses per interval
Total buses = 6 intervals × 3 buses per interval = 18 buses

Therefore, **18 buses will depart in one hour**.
