2 minutes

6 minutes

7 minutes

11 minutes

I will get the bus after 11 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Buses on my route run every 13 minutes from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m.

If i arrive at 8:46 a.m. then i have to calculate how long will i wait for the bus at bus stop.

Now the difference between 7:00 a.m. to 8:46 a.m. is

(8.46 - 7.00) = 1 hour and 46 minutes or 106 minutes

Means i have missed the number of buses = 106/13 ≈ 8

Now i will be waiting for the 9th bus.

So 9th bus will come at = 7: 00 a.m. + (13×9) minutes = 7:00 am + 117 minutes = 7:00 a.m. + 1 hour 57 minutes = At 8:57 a.m.

As i have arrived at 8:46 a.m. and next bus is at 8:57 a.m. so I will wait for (8:57 - 8:46 = 0 : 11 minutes).

Answer will be 11 minutes.

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x

look at the picture i have filled out a table for it. hope this .
