Question

Select the correct car trips. Listed are the distances traveled by four cars and the time it took each car to cover that distance. Identify which cars traveled at the same speed.

Answer 1

Speeds of car 1 and car 4 are same.

Explanation:

Speed of an object =
`\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time}}`

For car 1,

Speed of car 1 =
`(350)/(5)`

= 70 miles per hour

For car 2,

Speed of car 2 =
`(240)/(4)`

= 60 miles per hour

For car 3,

Speed of car 3 =
`(320)/(5)`

= 64 miles per hour

For car 4,

Speed of car 4 =
`(420)/(6)`

= 70 miles per hour

Therefore, speeds of car 1 and car 4 are same.
