Answer 1

Hakim's car is faster.

Explanation:

Hakim's car takes 20 seconds to go 600 feet. Andre's motorcycle takes 24 seconds to go 600 feet.

So for Hakim, the unit rate are 30 feet per second because 600/20 = 30

For Andre, the unit rate is 25 feet per second because 600/24 = 25

Hakim's car goes faster because 30 is greater than 25.
