Question 542345
<br><font face="Tahoma">No, it would not be reasonable (unless he was REALLY speeding).<br>

On his normal trip, it is easy to see that for every 10 hours of "trip" time, he is only "driving" for 7 of those hours.<br>

The other 3 hours are "break" hours.<br>

So the actual driving time is 7 hours.<br>

In the second scenario, his total "trip" time is 6 hours.<br>

He is only driving for 5 of those hours.<br>

The other 1 hour is a "break" hour.<br>

Since the actual "driving" time to Boston is 7 hours,<br>

he would be 2 hours short on "driving" time in the second scenario where he only stopped once.<br>

This is a good and tricky question.<br>

I hope this helps!<br>
