Complete question :
kim and jay leave at the same time to travel 25 miles to the beach. kim drives 9 miles in 12 minutes. jay drives 10 miles in 15 minutes if they both continue at the same rate, who will arrive at the beach first?
Answer:
KIM
Explanation:
Given that:
Distance traveled = 25 miles
Kim :
9 miles in 12 minutes
Rate = distance / time
Rate = 9 / 12 = 0.75 miles per minute
Jay:
10 miles in 15 minutes
Rate = distance / time
Rate = 10 / 15 = 0.667 miles per minute
Since Kim's rate is higher than Jay's rate, Kim will arrive at the beach faster than Jay.
0.75 > 0.667
Kim will arrive first
