To reach her destination, Jeanette must drive 90 miles. If she drives 5 miles every 7 minutes, how much time will it take her to reach her destination?

A. 2 hours and 2 minutes
B. 2 hours and 6 minutes
C. 2 hours and 10 minutes
D. 2 hours and 12 minutes
E. 2 hours and 15 minutes


Kudos for a correct solution.

If 5 miles = 7 minutes then,
90 miles = ?
= (90 * 7)/5
= 126 minutes
= 120 + 6 minutes
= 2 hours and 6 minutes
Hence option (B).

For these problems I love using a ratio approach. Understanding ratios on the GMAT is a great way to simplify problems.

Total distance is 90 miles.

Ratio of miles to minutes is:
5miles = 7minutes.

You want to find the total number of miles here so 90miles /5miles = 18.

The multiplier is 18. 7 minutes * 18 equals 126 minutes. 126 minutes equals 2 hours 6 minutes.

Answer choice B.

A. 2 hours and 2 minutes
B. 2 hours and 6 minutes
C. 2 hours and 10 minutes
D. 2 hours and 12 minutes
E. 2 hours and 15 minutes

Jeanette’s rate is 5/7 miles per minute.

Thus, it takes her 90/(5/7) = 630/5 = 126 minutes = 2 hours and 6 minutes to reach her destination.

Answer: B
