Question

Greg and Marti are racing remote control cars. The race starts at t=0 and the car’s distance is measured from the start line. Both cars have a constant rate of change. Information about each of the cars during the race is shown below.

The race was over after 10 seconds. The winner of the race is defined by the person who is farthest from the start line. Whose car should be crowned the winner? Use mathematics to justify your answer.

Answer 1

Marti

Explanation:

Marti is farthest because it says that greg's car travels 13 feet but after two seconds he was at 30.7 away from the start line and marti was 2 feet in front but martyi goes faster because her car goes way more faster every second: (16.5 > 13) so: Greg is 30.7 + 13 x 10 = 160.7 | Marti: 2 + 16.5 x 10 = 167, So Marti wins the race and should be crowned the winner.
