To represent the situation described, we can set up the equation based on the information provided. Let's denote:
- \( t \) as the time it takes to ride the bus (in minutes).
- Tran's total travel time walking is given as \( 30 \) minutes.
From the problem, we know that Tran's total travel time (walking) was four times longer than the travel time by bus. This translates to an equation as follows:
\[
30 = 4t
\]
This equation expresses that Tran's walking time (30 minutes) is equal to four times the bus travel time. You can solve for \( t \) (the travel time by bus) by dividing both sides by 4:
\[
t = \frac{30}{4} = 7.5 \text{ minutes}
\]
So, Tran's bus ride takes 7.5 minutes.
