A car went 60 km in 5/6 of an hour while a second car went 54 km in 2/3 hour. Which car was faster? How many times faster?
The answer is 1.125.
Car A went 60 km in 5/6 of an hour while a car B went 54 km in 2/3 of an hour. Which car was faster? How many times faster?
Solution:
To find Speed we need to divide Distance by Time.
Speed of car A is 60km ÷ 5/6= 1.2
Speed of car B is 54km ÷ 2/3= 1.35
Car B is faster.
To answer how many times faster we need to divide the Speed of car B by the speed of car A.
1.35 ÷ 1.2= 1.125
The second car went faster then the first car by 1.125!
60km divided by 5/6=1.2
54km divided by 2/3= 1.35
1.35 divided by 1.2..?
That equals...1.125!
