Answer:

The Ant travels farther per second

Explanation:

To Find how far the ant and beetle travels we have to find out how many feet per second the Ant and Beetle travel.

To find that out for the Ant I divided 30 by 2 and got 15 which means the ant travels 1 foot in 15 second.

To find that out for the beetle I divided 90 by 5 and got 18 which means the beetle travels 1 foot in 18 seconds.

Therefore the Ant travels faster.
