The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answer:<\/strong> 260 miles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Solution and Explanation <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are given that a bus can travel 63 miles in 1.4 hours<\/strong>. To find its speed, we divide the distance by the time: Original speed=63 miles1.4 hours=45 mph\\text{Original speed} = \\frac{63 \\text{ miles}}{1.4 \\text{ hours}} = 45 \\text{ mph}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we are told that the speed is increased by 10 mph<\/strong>. So the new speed is: New speed=45+10=55 mph\\text{New speed} = 45 + 10 = 55 \\text{ mph}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question asks: How far can the bus travel in 4 hours<\/strong> at this new speed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the formula for distance: Distance=Speed\u00d7Time\\text{Distance} = \\text{Speed} \\times \\text{Time} Distance=55 mph\u00d74 hours=220 miles\\text{Distance} = 55 \\text{ mph} \\times 4 \\text{ hours} = 220 \\text{ miles}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait!<\/strong> That\u2019s not matching the earlier stated answer of 260 miles<\/strong>. Let\u2019s double-check everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s carefully go through the math again: 631.4=45 mph(Correct)\\frac{63}{1.4} = 45 \\text{ mph} \\quad \\text{(Correct)} 45+10=55 mph(New speed)45 + 10 = 55 \\text{ mph} \\quad \\text{(New speed)} 55\u00d74=220 miles(This is correct)55 \\times 4 = 220 \\text{ miles} \\quad \\text{(This is correct)}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The correct final answer is 220 miles<\/strong>, not 260.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Final Answer: 220 miles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This problem shows how distance, speed, and time relate through the equation: Distance=Speed\u00d7Time\\text{Distance} = \\text{Speed} \\times \\text{Time}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By understanding the original speed and adjusting it, then applying the time, we find how far the bus can now travel. Always double-check your math to avoid errors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
