anonymous · Answer

so how do you do that in a calualtor?

anonymous · Answer

You want to represent the hours as fractions of an hour:
4hr 25min = 265/60 hours
d=vt=((265/60) hr)(110km/hr)

anonymous · Answer

In a calculator, 265*110/60

anonymous · Answer

$$485\frac{5}{6}km$$

anonymous · Answer

its not km or kg whats the correct units

Start by converting 4 hours, 25 minutes to hours, then determine how many kilometers the bus will travel using distance = (rate)(time).

anonymous · Answer

$$485\frac{5}{6}km(\frac{0.621371192 mi}{1km}) \approx 301.883mi$$
