Amy is biking to school from her father's house and Jeremy is biking to school from his aunt's house. Suppose Amy is moving at a rate 10 miles per hour and Jeremy is moving at a rate of 8 miles per hour. Can you assume that Amy will get to school first? Explain.

You can't because even though Amy is moving faster
We don't know if Amy's house or Jeremy's house is closer to the school.

No because you don't know how far away the houses are from school. If amy's house was on mars but jeremy's house is on the same block, jeremy is obviously going to get there first
