Question

Ben drove 230 kilometers in 3 hours, and pia drove 250 km in 3 hours. Without making any calculations, who drove faster? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Pia drove faster because she went farther than Ben in 3 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

Pia drove faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The distance covered by Ben in 3 hours = 230 km,

While, the distance covered by Pia in 3 hours = 250 km,

We know that,

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

Thus, if the time is constant,

Speed ∝ Distance,

That is, the person who covered larger distance is faster,

∵ 250 > 230

Hence, Pia drove faster.
