Car 1 travels 120 miles in 2 hours. If Car 2 travels 80 miles in the same amount of time, which car, according to the formula, is traveling at a faster speed?

Question

please help me, i dont know how to do this and i need to get ready for my test tomorrow.

Answer 1

CAR 1 TRAVELS 120 MILES IN 2 HOURS.

D = DISTANCE, T = TIME. S = SPEED.

S = D/T

FOR CAR 1: SPEED = D/T = 120/2 = 60 MILES PER HOUR

FOR CAR 2: SPEED = D/T = 80/2 = 40 MILES PER HOUR.

THEREFORE, CAR 1 IS TRAVELING FASTER.
