Question

Zahara rides with her to her grandmother's house. They travel 159 miles in 3 hours. Her uncle Jorge drives there separately from his home.

a. At what speed does Zahara's dad drive in miles per hour
b. Jorge's trip takes the same time as Zahara's, but he travels a shorter distance. Does Jorge drive faster or slower than Zahara's dada

Answer 1

Answer: a. To find the speed at which Zahara's dad drives, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. The formula is: speed = distance/time.

So, speed = 159 miles / 3 hours = 53 miles per hour

b. Since Zahara's trip and Jorge's trip took the same amount of time, the only way that Jorge could have traveled a shorter distance than Zahara is if he drove slower. So, it can be inferred that Jorge drives slower than Zahara's dad.
