Answer:

Car B is faster

Car B is ×1.125 times faster

Explanation:

Car A:

went 60 km in 5/6 hour

then

went 60/5 = 12 km in 1/6 hour

then

went 12 ×6 = 72 km in 6/6 = 1 hour

Car B:

went 54 km in 2/3 hour

then

went 54/2 = 27 km in 1/3 hour

then

went 27 × 3 = 81 km in 3/3 = 1 hour

81÷72 = 1.125
