Calculate Rate of Climb Required on a Departure - FAA Instrument Written Test Question

The Instrument pilot knowledge exam asks questions pertaining to rate of climb required when given a departure procedure with a climb requirement given in feet per nautical mile.

The formula for this problem is shown but also, an easier example of an aircraft climbing at 60 knots over the ground is shown as a baseline.

This is one of the many types of questions given on the FAA Instrument Written exam.

heyi what speed should I consider with da40? In my fligh school we climb to 500ft with 72 kias then continue climb about 6000feet with 88kias. I want to know either 88 or 72? For me its 88 because almost all my climb section continues with 88kias. is there any explanation of it... some of my friends use 72kts in performance charts but they maintain 72kias only up to 500 feet then they speed up to 88kias until 6000feet, for me 88 makes sense because we maintain 88kias almost at 6000 feet. on top of that, some of my friends say u should use 88kias at go around but it doesnt make sense for me because I take consider my actual SID speed and its 88kias

I'm confused how a twin needs more climb rate than a 150
