Question

Karen drove 230 miles in 60 minutes. Terrence drove 185 miles in 52 minutes. Who had a higher average speed in miles per minute?

Answer 1

Distance Karen drove=230
Time Karen took=60
Distance Terrence drove=185
Time Terrence took=52
We know,
Speed=distance/time taken
Or,Speed of Karen=230/60
=3.83
Speed of Terrence=185/52
=3.55
Thus,Karen had a higher average speed
