Doug drives without backtracking from his apartment to a campsite in another state. After two hours, he is halfway to his destin
ation. After four hours, he is two thirds of the way there. Which of the following could represent the fraction of his travel distance he has covered after three hours? a) 2/5
b) 3/5
c) 3/4
d) 4/5
For this item, after two hours, he is able to cover 0.5 of the distance and after four hours, he is able to 0.67 of the distance. The fraction of the distance he is able to cover after 3 hours should be greater than 0.5 but lesser than 0.67. Thus, the answer to this item is letter B which is equal to 0.6.
