Answer:

Explanation:

Rachel

d = 90 miles.

d = 90 * 1.6 km = 144 km

t = 1.25 hours.

Average speed = d/ time

Average speed = 144/ 1.25 = 115.2

Marc

d = 244 km

t = 2hr 30 minutes

30 minutes = 1/2 hour = 0.5 hours

Average speed = 244 km / 2.5 hours

Average speed = 97.6

Difference

Difference = Rachel - Marc

Difference = 115.2 - 97.6

Difference = 17.6
