Answer 1

I have no clue sorry

Explanation:

not gonna

Answer 2

For this case we have both characters travel the same distance, then:

SB: Represents the average speed of SpongeBob

P: Represents Patrick's average speed

According to the data we have to:

`SB = 14.88 \frac {km} {h} = 14.88 \frac {km} {h} * \frac {1} {60} \frac {h} {min} = \frac {14.88} {60} \frac { km} {min}`

If Patrick travels the same distance but with 4 minutes slower we have:

`P = \frac {14.88} {60 + 4} \frac {km} {min}`

`P = 0.2325 \frac {km} {min} * \frac {60} {1} \frac {min} {h} = 13.95 \frac {km} {h}`

Answer:

`13.95 \frac {km} {h}`
