Answer 1

C. and D.

Explanation:

In the word problem, the two facts to solve the problem are:

A. The wait to ride the roller coaster was 40 minutes and

B. The line of people was 100 meters long

Because the length of waiters has an effect on the time. Thus, if the line is reduced to 50 meters, then the waiting time would reduce i.e 20 minutes.

Therefore, the facts that are not required to solve the word problem are:

C. The roller coaster is the fastest ride at the fair.

D. It was Tuesday.
