Answer:

The bus traveled 20 miles in 0.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step, we must figure out how many miles per 1 hour the bus is traveling.

To do this we must divide 360 by 9.

[tex]360/9= 40[/tex]

this means that per 1 hour, the bus is going 40 miles.

Now we must figure out how many miles the bus is going at 0.5 miles.

0.5 miles is equal to half 1 mile.

This means that all we have to do is multiply 40 by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or divide it by 2.

[tex]40/2 = 20[/tex]

[tex]40 * \frac{1}{2} =20[/tex]

Now we know that,

The bus traveled 20 miles in 0.5 hours.
