Question

Kate travels for 1 1/3hour to visit a friend

who lives 4 1/2 miles away. Martin travels 4 1/4
miles to visit his friend, and it takes him 1 1/5
hours. Who travels more miles per hour?

Answer 1

Martin

Explanation:

Calculate their speeds with the formula s = d/t (speed = distance/time)

Calculate Kate's speed:

s = d/t

s = 4.5/1.33

s = 3.375 mph

Calculate Martin's speed:

s = d/t

s = 4.25/1.2

s = 3.541 mph

So, Martin travels more miles per hour
