Answer 2

Answer: First route.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if the time taken is less then the route will be called faster.

`\text{Also, Time }=\frac{ \text{Distance}}{\text{speed}}`

Here, In first route,

70 miles is covered at 55 miles per hour,

Hence, the total time taken = 70/55 = 1.27272727≈1.27 hours

In second route,

85 miles is covered at 65 miles per hour,

Hence, the total time taken = 85/65 = 1.30769231 ≈ 1.31 hours

Since, 1.27 < 1.31

Thus, the first route is faster than second route.
