So the speed is 58 miles per hour
And the distance to be travleed is 32 miles!
So we know that time = Distance/speed.
Or 58/32 hours is the time UHOH! But they want it in minutes so the time taken would be?
58*60/32 minutes!! :D
Getting me? :)

anonymous · Answer

actually the answer is  40 .but i have to calculate how is it 40

akashdeepdeb · Answer

My bad it should actually be 32/58 as the time in hours!
Haha. Didn't view that well! :D

akashdeepdeb · Answer

So now to convert the to minutes all we do is multiply it by 60 and I think it it SHOULD approximate to 40 then! :)
Understood? :)

akashdeepdeb · Answer

It still isn't 40!
Then i think the options are incorrect or there is a typo in your question! :)
But this IS the method! :)
