Answer:

21 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Taking CITY STREET:

Time taken to drive to nearest bowling alley = 45 minutes = 45/60 = 0.75 hours

Speed of travel = 30 miles per hour

Taking FREEWAY:

speed of travel = 65miles per hour

If the distance to bowling alley is the same along both routes, The time taken along FREEWAY will be :

.

Distance to bowling alley taking city center :

Speed = distance / time

30 mph = distance / 0.75 hour

Distance = 30 × 0. 75 = 22.5 miles

Since distance is the same :

Time taken along FREEWAY :

Time taken = distance / speed

Time taken = 22.5 / 65 = 0.3461538 hour

Converting to minutes :

0.3461538 × 60 = 20.769 minutes

= 21 minutes ( to the nearest minute)
