Options

A. 4.05 km
B. 40.5 km
C. 41.5 km
D. 50.4 km

Answer

To find the average distance covered by the bus per hour, we can use the formula for speed, which is defined as:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Given Values:**
- Distance traveled by the bus = 267.3 km
- Time taken = 6.6 hours

2. **Apply the Formula for Speed:**
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{267.3 \text{ km}}{6.6 \text{ hours}} \]

3. **Perform the Division:**
- First, we can simplify the division:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{267.3}{6.6} \]

4. **Calculate the Result:**
- Performing the division:
\[ \text{Speed} = 40.5 \text{ km/h} \]

5. **Conclusion:**
- The average distance covered by the bus per hour is **40.5 km/h**.
