    40 mph

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So, Charlie has 30 minutes (or 1/2 hour) to ride 40 miles by car. So, he needs to go at a speed such that he can make 40 miles in 1/2 hour.

    Lets X miles per hour be the needed speed to ride 40 miles in half an hour, we know that at such speed Charlie will ride X miles in 1 hour. As the time he has is 1/2 hour we need X to be 80. This is, at a speed of 80 miles per hour, Charlie will ride 40 milles in half an hour. Note that:

    80/40 = 1 / (1/2) are proportionals
