A cyclist travels the length of a bike path that is 225 miles, long, rounded to the nearest mile. If the trip took him 5 hours, rounded to the rearest hour, then his average speed must be between: A. 38 and 50 miles per hour B. 40 and 50 miles per hour C. 40 and 51 miles per hour D. 41 and 50 miles per hour E. 41 and 51 miles per hour
如果没错理解起rounded to the ...,应是四舍五入。 那么这个人的平均速度应该是在: 224.5miles/5.5hour=40.81miles/hour 和225.5miles/4.5hour=50.11miles/hour。即 40.81<v<50.11。 我即可选了答案D,因为问题是问average speed MUST be between. 可是正确答案却是C,让我很纳闷。
不好意思,是我自己下午理解有错。 C肯定是对的。如下: 很容易得出速度范围是40.81<v<50.11。下面徘徊在C和D两个选项: C. 40 and 51 miles per hour D. 41 and 50 miles per hour 如果当时这个骑车的就跑出个极端的速度40.81或者50.11的速度话,那么D就肯定错了! 换个角度思考,C是说速度范围是在40到51,即40.81和50.11两个极端情况都落在这个区间。如果C选项是10到100,在其他选项不变情况下那么C也是对的。D.的区间范围小于40.81到50.11,故错误。
