Suppose you are a detective assigned to a robbery case. in this case, the robbery occurred at 2: 30 pm. you have a witness who saw suspect at a gas station 12 miles from the robbery site at 2: 48 pm. the suspect claims innocence, arguing that it would have been impossible to get to the gas station in that amount of time. do you agree? support your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time of robbery = 2 : 30 PM

Witness saw the suspect at the time = 2 : 48 PM

Difference in timings = 2 : 48 - 2 : 30 = 18 minutes

Distance of the robbery site and gas station = 12 miles

Speed by which suspect can drive to reach the gas station

=

= miles per minute

= miles per hour

= 40 miles per hour

Since 40 miles per hour is a nominal speed by which the suspect can easily reach the gas station.

Therefore, I don't agree with the suspect's statement that it is impossible to get to the gas station in that amount of time.
