Buses on your route run every 11 minutes from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. You arrive at the bus stop at 9:15 am. How long will you wait for a bus? (1 point)

Question

• 5 minutes
• 11 minutes
• 2 minutes
• 3 minutes

Answer 1

You will wait for a bus for 4 minutes.
Explanation:
From 8:00 am to 9:15 am, there is a time difference of 1 hour and 15 minutes, or 75 minutes.
Since the buses run every 11 minutes, in 75 minutes, there will be 75/11 = 6 complete cycles of buses.
In each cycle, you will wait for 11 minutes. Therefore, in 6 cycles, you will wait for 6 * 11 = 66 minutes.
So, you will wait for an additional 75 - 66 = 9 minutes after the last complete cycle.
Therefore, you will wait for a bus for 11 minutes + 9 minutes = 20 minutes.

Answer 2

Are you sure

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, and I apologize for the incorrect calculations.

Since the buses run every 11 minutes, and you arrive at 9:15 am, you will have to wait until the next bus arrives.

Therefore, you will wait for a bus for 11 minutes. so the correct answer is:

• 11 minutes
