Say the distance from Houghton to Callahan is D miles.

Let's take each statement one by one.

(1) It will take 1 hour less time to travel the entire route at an average rate of 55 miles per hour than at an average rate of 50 miles per hour.

=> D/50 - D/55 = 1

D = 5500 miles. Sufficient.

(2) It will take 11 hours to travel the first half of the route at an average rate of 25 miles per hour.

=> D/2 = 25*11 => D = 50*11 = 5500 miles. Sufficient.

The correct answer: D

Hope this helps!
