Count number of buses to yield given waiting time

26 Views Asked by At

I'm sorry if my question sounds like beginner. My friends asked me this question and I was a bit confused with this.

Suppose there are four stations in a 60 km loop. If bus speed is 12 km/h how many buses are needed so that the waiting time is at most 5 minutes?

Can this problem be solved? Or does the problem need more detail to be added? Maybe such as time intervals between buses

Thanks,

It takes five hours for one bus to complete a loop around the four stations. To make the waiting time five minutes you would thus need (5 hours / 5 minutes) = 60 buses.
