How much will your trip be delayed if you follow a driver going five miles per hour below the speed limit for 10 miles?

To determine the delay caused by following a driver going five miles per hour below the speed limit for a distance of 10 miles, we need to calculate the time difference between driving at the speed limit and at the reduced speed.

If the speed limit is, for example, 55 miles per hour, then driving at this speed for 10 miles would take approximately 10.91 minutes (10 miles divided by 55 miles per hour multiplied by 60 minutes). However, if you are following someone who is driving 50 miles per hour (five miles per hour below the speed limit), it would take 12 minutes to cover the same distance (10 miles divided by 50 miles per hour multiplied by 60 minutes).

The difference in time between these two speeds over 10 miles results in a delay of about one minute. Thus, by following a slower driver, you would experience a delay of approximately one minute, making this the correct answer.

Other choices represent longer delays that would not accurately reflect the time difference established by following someone driving slightly below the speed limit.
