got Mike total time = 10/10+20/5 ; 5 hrs
for Fritz total time =
30= t/3 *10+2t/3*5
solve for t= 90/20 ; 4.5 hrs
IMO D

distance =velocity*time
1/3*t*10+2/3*t*5=30
10t/3+10t/3=30
20t=3*30
t=4.5

Ballparking choices one by one

Let’s take 3 hours

Then 10 miles in 1 hr and 2 hr x5 = 10 so incorrect

Then take some thing which can be divided by 3

So 4.5

Bingo 1.5 hour x 10 miles/hr = 15 miles
And remaining 3 hour x 5 = 15

D is correct
