Charlie Benitez · Answer 1

speed of the first bus: 36 2/3 miles per hour speed of the second bus: 73 1/3 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The second bus travels twice as fast, so will take half the time of the first bus. The second bus takes 3 hours less time, so that is half the time of the first bus.

The first bus's speed is (220 mi) / (6 h) = 36 2/3 mph.

The second bus's speed is twice that: 73 1/3 mph.
