Answer 1

Answer:

Truck D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Below are the rates of travel of 4 shipping trucks.

Truck A: 300 miles in 4 hours Truck B: 240 miles in 3 hours Truck C: 325 miles in 5 hours Truck D: 170 miles in 2 hours.

Speed = distance/time

Speed of Truck A,

$v_A=\dfrac{300}{4}\\\\v_A=75\ mph$

Speed of Truck B,

$v_B=\dfrac{240}{3}\\\\v_B=80\ mph$

Speed of Truck C,

$v_C=\dfrac{325}{5}\\\\v_C=65\ mph$

Speed of Truck D,

$v_D=\dfrac{170}{2}\\\\v_D=85\ mph$

It can be seen that the speed of Truck D is more out of Trucks A,B and C. Hence, Truck D is moving at a faster rate.
