I drive 13 miles each way to work every day. It sometimes takes me 20 minutes to get to work, and sometimes it takes me 30 minutes. If Distance = Rate x Time, at what rate am I going if it takes me 20 minutes to get to work? At 30 minutes?

39 mph

26 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate * time

20 minutes:

13 miles = rate * 20 minutes

rate = (13 miles)/(20 minutes) * (60 minutes)/(hour)

rate = 39 mph

30 minutes:

13 miles = rate * 30 minutes

rate = (13 miles)/(30 minutes) * (60 minutes)/(hour)

rate = 26 mph

the answer is c. 23/3
