Question

Please help- A car travels 600ft in 20 seconds. A motorcycle travels 300ft in 12 seconds. Which is faster, the car or the motorcycle? Explain.

Answer 1

600ft/20sec = 30ft per sec

300ft/12sec = 25 fr per sec

This means the car is faster by 5 seconds

Answer 2

The Car.

Explanation:

We need to find the unit rate for each vehicle to figure out who is traveling faster or slower.

Car: 600/20 = 30 ft per second

Motorcycle: 300/12 = 25 ft per second

So, the Car is faster
