Question

Train A traveled 173 miles in five hours. For Train B, y = 31.35x represents its rate of speed over the same five hours. Which train traveled at a faster rate and by what factor? (round to nearest tenth) A) Train B by a factor of 3.2 B) Train A by a factor of 3.2 C) Train B by a factor of 1.1 D) Train A by a factor of 1.1

Answer 1

Answer;

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Train A by a factor of 1.1

Train A:  

173

5

= 34.6

Train B: Rate is the slope of the equation, 31.35

Thus,

34.6

31.35

= 1.1036

Answer 2

 D) Train A by a factor of 1.1
Train A: 17/35 = 34.6

Train B: Rate is the slope of the equation, 31.35

Thus,34.6/31.35 = 1.1036
