Question 6 • Transition Mathematics for Seniors
Distance equals rate multiplied by time. The downhill rate is 1/16 mile per minute, and the downhill time is 42 − x minutes, so its distance is (1/16)(42 − x) miles. This matches choice D, 1/16 times (42 minus x). The other expressions do not multiply the downhill rate by the downhill time correctly.
