Answer 3

Ok lets start off and find out how long he walked. What was his distance
So he walked at a speed of 3 miles/hr
Since he only walked half hr that means he walked all of 1.5 miles
Ok Now we know it took him half hr to walk and 10 minutes to wait for the bus so that is all of 40 minutes.
He started his walk at 2:25. Forty minutes later is 3:05
Now he arrived home at 3:15
That means it took him 10 minutes on the bus to get home
so he drove 1.5 miles on the bus in 10 minutes
so the speed is 1.5 miles/10 minutes
