Praxis 5511 Practice Question
Jason and Beth drove 2,820 miles at 60 mph, with 28 hours of non-driving time. How long was the trip?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine the total duration of Jason and Beth's trip, first calculate the driving time. At 60 mph, driving 2,820 miles takes 47 hours (2,820 miles ÷ 60 mph). Adding the 28 hours of non-driving time results in a total trip duration of 75 hours.
Converting 75 hours into days and hours: 75 hours equals 3 days (72 hours) and 3 additional hours.
Option A (3 days) underestimates the total time. Option C (3 days 6 hours) and Option D (3 days 8 hours) both overestimate the driving time. Thus, the accurate calculation leads to 3 days and 3 hours.
