Question

11. Peter drove 300 miles in 5 hours. Jane drove 400 miles in 8 hours. Who drove at a higher speed? * A. Jane B. Peter

Answer 1

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Peter's speed = (300 miles) / (5 hours) = 60 miles per hour

Jane's speed = (400 miles) / (8 hours) = 50 miles per hour.

60 is greater than 50 .

Peter's speed was greater than Jane's speed. (B)
