Question

26) Jenny drove 48 mph for 65 minutes. Which is true? a. Jenny drove exactly 48 miles b. Jenny drove more than 48 miles c. Jenny drove less than 48 miles​

Answer 1

B- Jenny must have driven more than 48 miles.

Explanation:

If Jenny rode for 60 at 48 mph, it would be exactly 48 miles. Though there is only 60 minutes in an hour, and Jenny rode 5 minutes longer than that, her drive being 65 minutes. To find how much she rode, 5 extra minutes into an hour would divide equally into 60, resulting in 12. Divide 48 by 12, and Jenny would have driven 4 miles in the 5 minutes drive after 60 minutes.

(Jenny basically driven 52 miles in 65 minutes).
