A. 60 mph
B. 90 mph

E. 200 mph

Answer: C
Source: Magoosh
At 60 mph, Luke would take 300/60 = 5 hours to cover 300 miles; thus, he has 7 – 5 = 2 hours to complete 200 miles. Thus, the average speed = 200/2 = 100 mph

Correct answer: C

Hope this helps!

Luke drives the first 300 miles of a trip at 60 miles an hour.
Time = distance/time
So, travel time = 300/60 = 5 hours

How fast does he have to drive, in miles per hour, on the final 200 miles of the trip if the total time of the trip is to equal 7 hours?
Luke has already spent 5 hours driving the first 300 miles.
In order to complete the trip in a TOTAL of 7 hours, Luke must complete the next 200 miles in 2 hours

Speed = distance/ time
So the speed needed for the second leg = 200/2 = 100 mph

Answer: C

Cheers,
Brent

A. 60 mph
B. 90 mph
C. 100 mph
D. 120 mph
E. 200 mph

Answer: C
Solution:

The time for the first part of the trip is 300/60 = 5 hours. Thus, he has 7 - 5 = 2 hours to drive 200 miles. In order to achieve this, he has to drive at 200/2 = 100 mph.
