The distance traveled by the blue car is represented by y=27x.
The distance traveled by the red car was monitored by a table.
number of miles traveled
hours
4. 116
5. 145
6. 174
The speed of the blue car is ___ miles per hour.
The speed of the red car is ___ miles per hour
The ___ car is faster
The speed of the blue car is 27 miles per hour.
To find the speed of the red car, we need to calculate the difference in distance traveled between each hour.
For the red car:
- Between 4 and 5 hours, the distance traveled is 145 - 116 = 29 miles.
- Between 5 and 6 hours, the distance traveled is 174 - 145 = 29 miles.
Since the red car traveled 29 miles in each hour, its speed is 29 miles per hour.
Comparing the speeds, we can see that the red car is faster than the blue car.
what about the blue car i need to know who fast the blue car is to
I apologize for the confusion. The speed of the blue car can be determined by dividing the distance traveled (y) by the number of hours (x).
We have the equation y = 27x for the distance traveled by the blue car.
To find the speed, we divide both sides of the equation by x:
y/x = 27x/x
Simplifying, we get:
y/x = 27
Therefore, the speed of the blue car is 27 miles per hour.
