Bob and Latoya both drove to a baseball game at a college stadium. Bob lives 70 miles from the stadium and latoya lives 60 miles from it. Bob drove at a rate of 50 miles/hour and Latoya drove at a rate of 40miles/hour.
If they both left home at the same time, who got to the stadium first.
I need to show all of the work.
Time = distance/speed
Bob's time
= 70/50 = 1.4 hours
Latoya's time
= 60/40 = 1.5 hours
Who got to the stadium first?

Bob arrived 1 minute earlier than latoya
To determine who arrived at the stadium first, we need to calculate the travel time for both Bob and Latoya.
We will use the formula:
Time = Distance / Rate
For Bob:
Distance = 70 miles
Rate = 50 miles/hour
Time taken by Bob = 70 miles / 50 miles/hour = 1.4 hours
For Latoya:
Distance = 60 miles
Rate = 40 miles/hour
Time taken by Latoya = 60 miles / 40 miles/hour = 1.5 hours
Comparing the times, we can see that Bob arrived at the stadium first because his travel time is shorter.
