B Correct answer
Explanation

Quantity A: Distance = 48 * (105/60) = 48 * 1.75 = 84 miles. Quantity B: Distance = 65 * (85/60) = 65 * 1.4166 = 92.08 miles. Quantity B > Quantity A.

AI explanation

Using the formula Distance equals Speed multiplied by Time, Quantity A covers 48 mph multiplied by 105 minutes, giving 5040 mile-minutes. Quantity B covers 65 mph multiplied by 85 minutes, giving 5525 mile-minutes. Since 5525 is greater than 5040, Quantity B is greater than quantity A.
