Skylar and Rodrigo each recorded how far they traveled while skateboarding. Skylar traveled 65 feet in 5 seconds and Rodrigo traveled 108 feet in 8 seconds. How much farther did Rodrigo travel per second than Skylar?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1/2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Skylar's speed was ...

  (65 ft)/(5 s) = 13 ft/s

Rodrigo's speed was ...

  (108 ft)/(8 s) = 13.5 ft/s

Rodrigo traveled farther by (13.5 -13) = 0.5 ft per second.
