I mean, Calvin has a point. Even if the road was completely clear, you’d still have to stop at traffic lights and stop signs. 50 miles is quite a ways too. It’s not realistic to assume they’d be able to maintain that speed for the entire duration. That question is pretty bogus all around, haha!
It’s fair to say the mentioned speeds are averages including stops and slowdowns, so it’s perfectly valid
Realistically, that should be conveyed in the text of the problem.

17:40
The answer would be 5:40, right? 50=40x+35x, solving for x gives 2/3 of an hour?
Yep 👍 ! ;-)
