Saskia needs to catch the 3.15pm train in order to get to her Mixed Martial Arts fight on time. It is 2.55 pm and Saskia is 2 miles from the train station. Saskia can run at an average speed of 10 miles per hour. However Saskia is carrying a sack of bricks which slows her down by 20%. If she runs to the station how many minutes early or late will she be for the train?	Select:
A) 10 minutes early	B) 5 minutes early	C) 0 minutes early	D) 5 minutes late	E) 10 minutes late
Saskia can run at an average speed of 10 miles per hour however she is slowed down by 20% by the sack of bricks and so can only run at 8 miles per hour. (0.2 x 10 = 2; 10 - 2 = 8)   At a speed of 8 miles per hour, Saskia can run 2 miles in 15 minutes. (8 miles / 2 miles = 4; 60 minutes/4 = 15 minutes)   Saskia has 20 minutes until her train but can run the distance in 15 minutes therefore she will be 5 minutes early (20 - 15 = 5 minutes).   ANSWER: 5 minutes early
