A bus travels 36 miles in 45 minutes. enter the total numbet of miles the bus travels in 60 minuted at this rate.

A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. For this case, the rate would have units of miles per minutes. We calculate as follows:

rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min

distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min (60 min) = 48 miles

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
