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

Bob

bob

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.
