Answer: Both families were travelling at the same speed/rate of 1mile/0.65mins or 1mile/0.01hr.
Step-by-step explanation: Speed of Houck family's train = 552m/6hrs
speed of Robert family's train = 744m/8hrs.
Therefore considering Houck speed,
552miles = 6hours
1mile = (6 x 60)/552
= 360/552
= 0.65minutes. Average speed = 1mile/0.65mins. Or 1mile/0.01hr
For Robert
744miles = 8hours
1mile = ( 8 x 60 )/744
= (480/744)minutes
= 0.645
= 0.65minutes. Average speed = 1mile/0.65mins. Or 1mile/0.01hr
Conclusion: Both families were travelling at the same speed/rate.
To get that minutes in hour, just divide by 60 to get concert to hours.
