Question

Problem of the Day

The tortoise and the hare were arguing: who's the fastest? The tortoise boasted he
could swim 220 miles in 10 hours. The hare bragged he could hop 90 miles in 2 hours.
But who is faster? How can you tell?​

Answer 1

hare

Explanation:

Their average rates are ...

tortoise: (220 mi)/(10 h) = 22 mi/h

hare: (90 mi)/(2 h) = 45 mi/h

The hare has a faster speed than the tortoise.
