Route 1 - 52 miles at 60mph.
Route 2 - 43 miles at 50mph.
Which route is faster and by how much?
Thanks.
time = distance/speed
So, do the divisions and compare the times.
So route one will be 52/60 which equal 0.86 recurring and route 2 would be 0.86. So which is faster - is it router 2 and by how much?
Thanks.
well, .86666666 - .860000 = .0066666 = 2/300 hours
so route 2 is faster by 2/300 hours, or 24 seconds
To compare the routes and determine which one is faster, we need to calculate the time it takes to travel each route.
Route 1:
Distance = 52 miles
Speed = 60 mph
To find the time, we can use the formula:
time = distance / speed
Substituting the values, we get:
time = 52 miles / 60 mph
time = 0.87 hours (rounded to two decimal places)
Route 2:
Distance = 43 miles
Speed = 50 mph
Using the same formula:
time = 43 miles / 50 mph
time = 0.86 hours (rounded to two decimal places)
Comparing the times, we can see that Route 2 is faster by approximately 0.01 hours or around 36 seconds (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, Route 2 is faster than Route 1, and the time difference between the two routes is about 36 seconds.
