Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The speed of the driver = 50 km/h

Time spent = 45 minutes = 0.75 h

From the definition of speed;

Speed = distance/time

Hence,

Distance = speed x time

Distance covered by driver in 45 minutes = 50 x 0.75 = 37.5 km

Distance needed to be covered = 30 km.

Therefore, the driver has traveled far enough to reach the office.
