    A bus traveling at an average rate of 50 kilometers per hour made the trip to town in 6 hours. If it had traveled at 45 kilometers per hour, how many more minutes would it have taken to make the trip?

    Let me see.

    D = rt

    D = 50(6)

    D = 300 kilometers

    300 = 45t

    300/45 = t

    6.666667 = t

    How do I convert 6.666667 to minutes?

    Perfect. Tomorrow, we go go back to precalculus (Section 6.4) and more bearing trigonometry.
