Answer
hours

Answer :

Answer:

What we know:

  • 39 hours is the total amount of time spent on the trip.
  • 14 hours spent with both walking and the train.

Our challenge:

  • To figure out how many __ hours were spent on the bus.

Let's set up an equation,

-we'll assume that 'x' are the unknown hours spent on the bus.

The unknown hours spent on the bus plus the hours spent both on walking/and the train will equal a total of 39 hours.

So,

14 + x = 39

Solve for x;

-14        -14

x = 25, the hours Jerry spent riding on the bus is 25 hours.

Answer:

25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • It took 39 hours in total to get to his grandmother's house
  • Walking and train transit takes 14 hours together

Solving

  • Total time = Time (walking) + Time (train) + Time (bus)
  • 39 hours = 14 hours + Time (bus)
  • Time (bus) = 39 - 14 = 25 hours
