5 miles in 20 minutes, at the same speed would be
10 miles in 40 minutes
15 miles in 1 hour

question says first 5 miles in 20  minutes... PLUS 10 miles for the rest of the trip... 5+10=15 miles so im thinking the answer would be 1 hour

explaination.......If the bus travels 5 miles in 20 minutes, its speed is15 miles per hour. At this speed it covers 10 miles in 40 minutes(10/15)*(60). so total travel time is 60 minutes, that is an hour..
