Answer 2

Answer:

Option D: $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Darius needs to solve 45 math problems. He as already solved 15 problems.

Remaining problems to be solved = Total - Already solved

Remaining problems = 45-15 = 30 problems

Time worked = 3:15 to 4:30 = 75 minutes

Darius have 75 minutes to solve 30 problems.

Time for one problem = $\frac{remaining\ problems\ to\ solve}{time\ worked}$

Time for one problem = $\frac{75}{30} = \frac{5}{2}\ minutes$

Time for one problem = $2\frac{1}{2}\ minutes$

It takes Darius $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes to complete one problem.

Hence,

Option D: $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes is the correct answer.
