Graph is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
15 miles per hour
Explanation:
We are given that d = 65t models the distance, d, that Malcolm's family travels after t hours.
Since we are comparing speed of both families, then we will find the speed here.
Formula for speed is;. Speed = distance/time
d = 65t and we know that d is distance and t is time. Thus, d/t = 65 m/hr = speed.
For Theo's family, looking at the image attached;
At a distance of 50 miles, time spent is 1 hr
At a distance of 100 miles, time spent is 2 hrs
At a distance of 150 miles, time spent is 3 hrs
At a distance of 200 miles, time spent is 4 hrs
Thus, speed = 200/4 or 150/3 or 100/2 or 50/1.
They all give a constant value of 50 m/hr.
Thus, speed of Theo's family = 50 mi/hr
Comparing this to that of Malcolm's family,we can see that Malcolm's family were faster by 65 - 50 = 15 mi/hr
