A train traveled from station X to station Y at a constant speed of 88

We can let d = the distance between station X and station Y. We need to determine whether d > 40 miles.
Since the distance is given in miles but the speed, or rate, is given in feet per second, we need to convert the distance from miles to feet. Since 1 mile = 5,280 feet, 40 miles = 40 x 5,280 = 211,200 feet.

Since rate x time = distance and we have a rate of 88 ft/s, we can change the question to:

Is 88t > 211,200 feet?

Is t > 2,400 seconds?

Since 2,400 seconds = 2,400/60 = 40 minutes, the question becomes:

Is t > 40 minutes?

Statement One Alone:

It took less than 45 minutes for the train to travel from station X to Station Y.

Since less than 45 minutes could mean 42 minutes or 38 minutes, statement one does not tell us whether t > 40 minutes. Statement one alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement Two Alone:

It took more than 42 minutes for the train to travel from station X to Station Y.

Statement two tells us that t is greater than 40 minutes.
