Question

Jada bikes 2 miles in 12 minutes. Jada's cousin swims 1 mile in 24 minutes. Who is moving faster? How much faster?

Answer 1

Jada is going faster by 18 minutes.

Explanation:

We already know how fast Jada's cousin is going, but we need to find how fast Jada is going. To do this, we divide 12/2 which equals 6 minutes. 6 is less than 24, so Jada is going faster.

Then to find how much faster Jada is going, subtract 24 minutes - 6 minutes, which equals 18 minutes.
