Question

Deena drove 585 miles in 9 hours. Kristen drove 605 miles in 11 hours. Who drove at a faster rate? How do you know?

Answer 1

Divide miles driven by time and compare them.

Deena: 585 /9 = 65 miles per hour

Kristen: 605 /11 = 55 miles per hour

Deena drove at a faster rate because 65 is greater than 55.
