Frank left Austin to drive to Boxville at 6:15 p.m. and arrived at 11:45 p.m. If he averaged 30 miles per hour and stopped one hour for dinner, how far is Boxville from Austin?

(A) 120

(B) 135

(C) 150

(D) 165

(E) 180

Duration of travel = 6:15 p.m. to 11:45 p.m = 5 hours and 30 mins with an hour of stop

So net Duration of travel = 4 hours and 30 minutes = 4.5 hours

Average speed of travel = 30 miles per hour

Distance = Speed X Time

i.e. Distance travelled = 30 * 4.5 = 135 miles

Total time spent on Journey is 5 Hours and 30 Minutes.

Time spent on travel = 5:30 - 1:00 (Time spent on dinner)

Travel time: 4:30
Speed: 30 Miles / Hour

Distance = Time * Speed = 135 Miles

Ans: B

(A) 120

(B) 135

(C) 150

(D) 165

(E) 180

The entire trip took 5.5 hours. Since Frank stopped for one hour, his driving time was 5.5 - 1 = 4.5 hours, at a rate of 30 miles per hour.

So the distance between Boxville and Austin is 30 x 4.5 = 135 miles.
