Question

Mai and Priya were on scooters. Mai traveled 15 meters in 6 seconds. Priya travels 22 meters in 10 seconds. Who was moving faster

Answer 1

22÷10=2.2, so Priya’s scooter travels at a rate of 2.2 meters per second. 15÷6=2.5, so Mai’s scooter travels at a rate of 2.5 meters per second

Answer 2

The way to get the answer is to find out how much each person goes every 1 second. It would make your life a lot easier

To find how far they traveled per second you would divide the both numbers in order to see how far they traveled per second.

Mai: 15 ÷ 6 = 2.5 meters per second.

Priya: 22 ÷ 10 = 2.2 meters per second.

Mai was moving faster than Priya.
