Linda keeps track of the time it takes her to drive to work. Over 4 days, she takes 45 minutes, 47 minutes, 41 minutes, and 69 minutes. What percentage of Linda's trips are between 44 and 48 minutes? Select one: \( 15 \% \) \( 12.5 \% \) \( 16.5 \% \) \( 13.5 \% \)

First, let's look at Linda's driving times: 45 minutes, 47 minutes, 41 minutes, and 69 minutes. The trips that fall between 44 and 48 minutes are 45 and 47 minutes. That's 2 trips out of a total of 4. To find the percentage of trips between 44 and 48 minutes, we use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of desired trips}}{\text{Total trips}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{2}{4} \right) \times 100 = 50\% \] It looks like none of the given options were correct since 50% is not listed. However, if we consider only one trip (45 minutes) between those times, that gives us: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) \times 100 = 25\% \] This still doesn’t match the options given. However, if there are any discrepancies, it’s fun to investigate the driving habits! Remember, a consistent drive time can reduce stress and help in planning your day better. Linda should keep an eye on her average times too, as knowing her typical drive can really aid in planning. This way, whether she encounters traffic or enjoys a smooth stretch, she can adjust her schedule and enjoy a few extra minutes in the morning!
