    Answer: taking the bus to work takes 13 minutes longer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It usually took josh 2/5 of an hour to ride his bike to work. This means that the number of hours that it took Josh to ride his bike to work is

    2/5 * 60 = 24 minutes

    But on Monday, his bike was broken, so he took the bus to work which took 5/8 of an hour. This means that the amount of time that it took Josh spent on the bus to work is

    5/8 * 60 = 37.5 minutes

    The difference between the time spent riding the bike and time spent on the bus is

    37.5 - 24 = 13 minutes
