if we have 200, four-hundred pound men... sitting in a large bus, traveling at 176 miles per hour... what is the average speed of this bus if one of these men roasts a frankfurter.... thus slowing the bus to 136 miles per hour for 5 minutes..??
what is the average speed of this bus over a 50 mile course????

136(5/60) + 176x = 50
11 1/3 + 176x = 50
176x = 38 2/3
x = 116/528 = 29/132 hour =
total time = 1/12 + 29/132 = 40/132 = 10/33 hr
avg speed = 50(33/10) = 165 mph

136 mph x (1/20 hours) = 6.8 miles
the rest of the 50 miles is 176 mph (43.2 miles)
136(6.8) + 176(43.2) / 50 = answer

first of all, you aint getting 200 fat *** dudes on a bus! secondly, there is no way a bus is gunna go faster than a race car. Thirdly, the only thing believebale is that there would be some roasting goin' on....but I can't believe just one dog for all those fat dudes.
The answer to your question is that this scenario is impossible and time and energy should not be wasted on it.

There is no way your scenario could happen.200 men who weigh 400 lbs could fit on a train but not a bus.Modify your question and ask again.
