Answer:


\boxed {\tt Neil's \ journey}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find who travelled faster, so we must find the time for each person's journey. Time can be found by dividing distance by speed.

Neil


t=(d)/(s)

Neil travelled 36 kilometers at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour.


d= 36 \ km \\s= 8 \ km/hr


d=(36 \ km)/(8 \ km/hr)

Divide (the kilometers or "km" will cancel each other out).


d=4.5 \ hr

Grant


t=(d)/(s)

Grant travelled 48 kilometers at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.


d= 48 \ km \\s= 10 \ km/hr


d=\frac{48 \ km} { 10 \ km/hr}

Divide (the kilometers or "km" will cancel each other out).


d=4.8 \ hr

Neil's journey took 4.5 hours and Grant's took 4.8 hours. We want to find the journey that was quicker and 4.5 is less than 4.8. So Neil's journey was quicker.
