### HideShow timer Statistics

The Kiljaro Highway is marked with Milestones denoting the distance to the town of Kiljaro. Tommy left kiljaro and drove the highway, passing the 10 km milestone at 8:30. Some time afterwards, Tommy got a phone call asking him to return home, and he made a U-turn at the 160 km milestone. At 09:A0 Tommy passed the milestone marking 70 km to Kiljaro. The variable A represents the tens digit of the minutes in 09:A0. Assuming Tommy maintained the same constant speed during the entire drive, how many kilometers did Tommy travel in one minute?

A. $$\frac{240}{30+10A}$$

B. $$\frac{240}{30+60A}$$

C. $$\frac{240}{40A}$$

D. $$\frac{220}{30+10A}$$

E. $$\frac{220}{40A}$$

Distance covered by Tommy from 8:30 to 9:A0 = (160-10)+(160-70)= 240 Kms

Total time taken= 30+10A minutes

Distance travelled by Tommy in 1 minute= $$\frac{240}{30+10A}$$

We can let A = 3. So in 1 hour, or 60 minutes, Tommy has driven (160 - 10) + (160 - 70) = 150 + 90 = 240 km. Therefore, his speed is 240/60 = 4 km per minute. Now let’s see which answer choice yields 4 when we substitute 3 for A.

A. 240/(30 + 10(3)) = 240/60 = 4 → Yes!

Even though we have found our answer, let’s prove it can’t the other choices. We don’t have to check choices B and D since they can’t be 4 (notice that B has the same numerator as A but a different denominator, whereas D has the same denominator as A but a different numerator).

C. 240/(40(3)) = 240/120 = 2 → No

E. 220/(40(3)) = 220/120 = 11/6 → No
