Question

The speed limit is 50 miles per hour. Kyle is driving to a baseball game that starts in 2 hours. Kyle is 130 miles away from the baseball field. If Kyle drives at the speed limit, will he arrive in time?

Answer 1

If Kyle drives at the top speed limit of `50` miles per hour, he cannot arrive in time for the baseball game.

Explanation:

As Kyle is `130` miles away from the baseball field and baseball game that starts in `2` hours,

he must drive at a minimum speed of `130/2=65` miles per hour, which is way above the speed limit of `50` miles per hour.

If he drives at the top speed limit of `50` miles per hour, in `2` hours, he will just cover `2xx50=100` miles but the distance being `130` miles, he cannot arrive in time.
