Question: 43

1. If a vehicle is to complete a 20-mile trip at an average rate of 30 miles per hour, it must complete the trip in

  • A. 20 minutes.
  • B. 30 minutes.
  • C. 40 minutes.
  • D. 50 minutes.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The correct answer is (C). No calculations are needed here. Note that a 20-mile trip at 60 mph (which is 1 mile per minute) would take 20 minutes. Since the vehicle is traveling half as fast (30 mph), the 20-mile trip should take twice as long, or 40 minutes.
