Question

Brenda has two remote-controlled race cars painted blue and red, respectively.The blue car traveled 54 feet 4 secounds.The red car traveled 38 feet im 2 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

The red car is faster compared to the blue car.

The red car is faster by 5.5 feet than the blue car.

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective is to find which car is  faster and by how much

Given that:

The blue car traveled 54 feet in 4 seconds; &

The red car traveled 38 feet in 2 seconds.

Let us determine the number of feet traveled in each second for both cases.

For the blue car:

In 1 second, the car will travel = 54/4 feet

In 1 second, the car will travel = 13.5 feet

For the red car:

In 1 second, the car will travel = 38/2 feet

In 1 second, the car will travel = 19 feet

Thus, the red car is faster compared to the blue car.

The distance at which the red car is faster than the blue car = 19 feet - 13.5 feet

= 5.5 feet
