Rates & Work, 3rd ed, Pg. 64

Quantitative Comparison:

Supplied information: A bullet train can cover the 420 kilometers between Xenia and York at a rate of 240 kilometers per hour.
Quantity A: The number of minutes it will take the train to travel from Xenia to York.
Quantity B: 110

The book says the answer is A, but I got an answer of 105 minutes for A (and so did Manhattan). Is this just a typo or am I missing something? Thanks!

Hey CMS,

Yes, that error is noted in our errata: http://www.manhattanprep.com/gre/errata ... ispexams=2

We'll correct it in the next edition. Thanks!
