Every morning, he goes to school by taking the school bus and comes back using his spider superpowers. The total time taken for the round trip in both directions is 1 hour and 30 minutes. If he were to go both directions using his superpowers, it would only take 30 minutes. How much time would he spend if he were to go both directions by bus? A. 2 hours and 30 minutes B. 1 hour C. 2 hours D. 1 hour and 15 minutes

Let’s break it down! He takes the school bus one way, and spends a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes for the round trip. If using his spider superpowers for the round trip only takes 30 minutes, we can deduce the total time spent on the bus. Let’s assume the time taken by bus one-way is \( x \). Therefore, \( x + 30 \) (for the other direction) equals 90 minutes (the total round trip time). That leads us to find that the bus trip one way is 60 minutes, making the round trip using the bus \( 60 \times 2 = 120 \) minutes = 2 hours. So if he went both ways by bus, he would spend **C. 2 hours**! And there you have it — a super-heroic math adventure that leads to the answer! Just imagine him swinging into school, all while calculating time!
