Question

QUESTION 1 of 20: You are trying to decide between two job offers. You find the best option is to take the highway to work. That route is calculated for driving at an average speed of 65 miles per hour. You would like to keep your morning commute down to less than 30 minutes. What is the farthest distance you can travel to work within the allowable time?

Answer 1

The farthest distance you can travel to work within the allowable time is 32.5 miles

Explanation:

Given the following :

Average Speed for taking highway route to work = 65miles per hour

Maximum commuting time to work in the morning = 30 minutes

Hence, 30 minutes = half an hour = 0.5 hour

Farthest distance = average speed allowed × travel time

Farthest distance = 65 miles per hour × 0.5 hour

Farthest distance = 32.5 miles
