Question

To deter speeding through a residential area, the Police set up a speed trap on Illusion Drive. Between the hours of 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm, they time vehicles over a 150 meter distance. If the speed limit is 35 mph, what is the fastest time a driver can take to cover this distance so (s)he DOES NOT receive a ticket? 0.015 seconds 15 seconds 1.0 minutes 10 seconds none of these
