The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Determine the speed of the car The speed of the car can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] Given that the car covers a distance of 364 km in 4 hours, we can substitute these values into the formula: \[ \text{Speed of Car} = \frac{364 \text{ km}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 91 \text{ km/h} \] ### Step 2: Set up the ratio of speeds We know that the ratio of the speed of the bus to the speed of the car is given as 6:7. Let the speed of the bus be \(6x\) and the speed of the car be \(7x\). ### Step 3: Relate the speed of the car to the ratio From the previous step, we found the speed of the car to be 91 km/h. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 7x = 91 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x\) To find \(x\), we divide both sides of the equation by 7: \[ x = \frac{91}{7} = 13 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the speed of the bus Now that we have \(x\), we can find the speed of the bus: \[ \text{Speed of Bus} = 6x = 6 \times 13 = 78 \text{ km/h} \] ### Final Answer The speed of the bus is **78 km/h**. ---
