I see what you mean, there are no statements, could this be a misprint? Yes you're right he would go 10 miles in 30 minutes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Darius takes his family on an afternoon boat ride.

First he drives 5 miles in 15 minutes.

Next he drives 30 minutes at the same rate i.e. 5 m/15 min or 20 miles/hour

Since speed is 20 miles/hour, it follows that he travels 10 miles in 30 minutes.

So the true statement is

he travels 10 miles in 30 minutes

Concept used:

Distance travelled = speed x time

Speed =average speed normally denoted by miles per bour
