Given:

Speed of Bus without stoppage is 54 km/h and with stoppage is 45 km/h

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

The speed of a bus with stoppages  = 45 km/hr

The speed of a bus without stoppages = 54 km/hr

Speed difference = 54 - 45 =  9 km/hr

Therefore, due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.

By using the above formula,

Time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54) × 60 = 10 min 

∴ The bus stop is 10 min per hour.
