Question

Two brothers are participating in a race. The older brother's average speed is 6 miles per hour and he finishes the race in 1 hour and 20 minutes. If the younger brother's average speed is 4 miles per hour, how long will it take him to complete the race?

A.) 45 min

B.) 2 Hours

C.) 4 Hours

D.) 30 min

Answer 1

The answer is 45 for this just plug in your variables to the equation

Answer 2

B). 2 Hours
Explanation if the older brother can run 6 MPH and it’s takes him a hour and twenty minutes you automatically can say it’s at least 6 miles then you have to see how many he can run in 20 minutes which is roughly 2 miles so that would mean he run for 8 miles if the younger brother can run 4 MPH then you just have to add that by 2 too see how long it will take to run 8
