The estimated completion time for a particular 100 item test is 3 1/3 hours.  Ten applicants actually took the test and completed it in 3 hours.  What is the difference between the actual and estimated rate of completion per item?

Sample question:

An employee drove from Lake Charles to a conference in Port Arthur.  A total distance from the round trip was 240 miles.  The time required to travel one way to Port Arthur was two hours.  Due to heavy traffic during the return trip to Lake Charles, an extra hour was required.  How much slower was the employee traveling on the return trip?
