Answer 1

See the analysis below

Explanation:

Given data

The Carter family

Distance= 285 miles

Time= 4 hours 45 minutes.

Time= 4.75 hours---------converted time to hours

Speed= distance/time

Speed= 285/4.75

Speed= 60 miles per hour

The Hernandez family

Distance=294 miles

Time= 5 hours and 15 minutes.

Time= 5.25hours---------converted time to hours

Speed= distance/time

Speed= 294 / 5.25

Speed= 56 miles per hour

Hence the Carter family is travelling faster at 60 miles per hour
