Solution: Speed * Time = Distance

Length of the section = 30 miles

Original speed limit: 30 miles per hour

Thus, time taken to cover this distance = \(\frac{30}{30}\) = 1 hour

New speed limit: 15 miles per hour

Thus, time taken to cover this distance = \(\frac{30}{15}\) = 2 hour

Thus, the required difference between the time durations is given = 2-1 = 1 hour = 1 * 60 = 60 minutes

D is the correct answer.

Answer D
