Question

10) Latrell and his cousin, Tisha, met at a state park to go for an all-day hike. Latrell

Answer 1

Answer:

Tisha is faster than Latrell by 3 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Latrell= 122\ miles for\ 2\ hours$

$Tisha = 96\ miles\ for\ 1.5\ hours$

Required

Determine how much faster is Tisha than Latrell

First, we need to determine the average speed of both individuals

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

For Latrell:

$Speed = \frac{122\ miles}{2\ hours}$

$Speed = 61\ miles/hour$

For Tisha

$Speed = \frac{96\ miles}{1.5\ hours}$

$Speed = 64\ miles/hour$

Calculate the difference

$Difference = 64\ miles/hour - 61\ miles/hour$

$Difference = 3\ miles/hour$

Hence:

Tisha is faster than Latrell by 3 miles/hour
