Question

Grayson biked 45 miles in 3 hours. Maya biked 26 miles in 2 hours. If they both kept a constant speed, how much faster did Grayson bike than Maya?

Write your answer as a decimal or a whole number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the speed of each person, we can divide the total distance traveled by the time taken.

Grayson's speed: 45 miles / 3 hours = 15 miles/hour

Maya's speed: 26 miles / 2 hours = 13 miles/hour

Therefore, Grayson biked 15 - 13 = 2 miles/hour faster than Maya.
