单选题 On a trip of 408 miles, Tom travels the first 160 miles in 4 hours. At what rate must he travel for the remainder of the trip in order to average 34 miles per hour for the entire trip? (in miles per hour)
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】设Tom后来又行驶了x小时,那么根据题意得到:408=34×(x+4),于是得到x=8。在这8小时内行驶了多少距离呢?408-160=248英里,因此在这段距离内的速度是248/8=31英里/小时,所以选择C。
