Question

Andre and Yazmeen leave at the same time and travel 75 miles to a fair. Andre drives 11 miles in 12 minutes. Yazmeen drives 26 miles in 24 minutes. If they continue at the same rates, who will arrive at the fair first? Explain

Answer 1

To get to know who will reach fast we need to compare the speed of Andre and Yazmeen.
speed=distance/time
Andre's speed will be:

Distance=11 miles
time=12 min
speed=11/12=0.92 miles/min

Yazmeen's speed:
distance=26 miles
time=24min
speed=26/24=1.08 miles/min

From above calculation we conclude that Yazmeen will reach first because she was traveling at a faster speed that Andre
