Al and Barb shared the driving on a certain trip. What fraction of the total distance did Al drive?
(1) Al drove for 3/4 as much time as Barb did.
(2) Al's average driving speed for the entire trip was 4/5 of Barb's average driving speed for the trip.

Al and Barb shared the driving on a certain trip. What fraction of the total distance did Al drive?
(1) Al drove for 3/4 as much time as Barb did. We don't know their average speeds. Not sufficient.
(2) Al's average driving speed for the entire trip was 4/5 of Barb's average driving speed for the trip. We don;t know the times. Not sufficient.
(1)+(2) When combined we have all we need:
Barb's time = t hours, Al's time = 3/4*t hours.
Barb's speed = r miles per hour and Al's rate = 4/5*r miles per hour.
Barb's distance = rt and Al's distance = 3/5*rt --> Al's covered (3/5*rt)/(rt+3/5*rt)=3/8 of the total distance. Sufficient.
Answer: C.

the way i did it is as follows:
1) r x t = d . I was a little confused about the wording "Al drove for 3/4 as much time as Bard did" sounded to me like I needed to add 3/4 to 1. Meaning 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4 was the answer I got initially as Al's time. But i agree that the correct way to read the stmt is as 3/4 = Al's time. in my formula r x t = d=> r x 3/4t => i don't know what % of the distance the 3/4t covers, i also don't know the rate at which Al is going, plus i don't know how it relates to Barb, i need more information to make this stmt suffice => insufficient.
2) r x t = d => 4/5r x t => Similar to stmt1, I need more information. insufficient.
Combined. for Al we have the rate and the time => 4/5r x 3/4t = 3/5rt. this formula is in direct comparison to Barbs's => r x t = rt => 3/5 rt + rt =8/5rt => Al's distance over the total distance is => 3/5rt / 8/5rt => 3/8 of the distance. Sufficient! Al drove 3/5th as much as Barb did, meaning that he drove 3/8 of the trip.
