At what speed was Erik running when he was at the halfway point of his route?
(1) Erik's route was 10 miles long and took him 2 hours to complete.
(2) Erik ran at an average speed of 5 miles per hour on the route.
Statements combined:
Each statement conveys the same information: that the average speed for the whole trip was 5 miles per hour.
The AVERAGE speed for the whole trip does not constrain the speed AT THE HALWAY POINT.
At the halfway point, the speed could be ANY NONNEGATIVE VALUE.
Thus, the two statements combined are INSUFFICIENT.
The correct answer is
E.
