A.50 miles

B.100 miles

C.150 miles

D.200 miles

E.250 miles

Answer 1

Explanation:

The trick is not to include anything under and including 150 miles. So A B and C are not to be checked.

D and E are both true.

Answer 2

Correct options are:

D.200 miles

E.250 miles

Explanation:

Cary and his brother took a road trip together.

Cary drove for 50 miles.

Let his brother drove x miles

The total number of miles they drove was more than 200.

⇒ 50+x>200

⇒ x>200-50

⇒ x>150

i.e. Cary's brother drove for more than 150 miles

Hence, options which satisfies the above inequality are:

D.200 miles

E.250 miles
