Answer:

The car that went 54 km in 2/3h was faster, 5/4 times faster than the other car

Explanation:

Average speed of a car is the ratio between the displacement \Delta x and the time (t) it takes to do that displacement:

V_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{t}

So, for the first car:

V_{avg1}=\frac{60km}{\frac{5h}{6}} =72\frac{km}{h} (1)

for the second car we have:

V_{avg2}=\frac{60km}{\frac{2h}{3}} =90\frac{km}{h} (2)

So, the second cart is faster than the first one. To find how many times divide speed 2 by speed 1:

\frac{90}{72}=\frac{5}{4}
