PLEASE HELP!!!
Michael drove 210 miles in 3 and one-half hours. Jordan drove 330 miles in 6 hours. Which is an accurate comparison of the rates at which the two people drove?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Michael drove faster than Jordan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed

The speed is the ratio between the distance d traveled by an object and the time t it took to move. In terms of a mathematical equation, it's expressed as:

[tex]\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Michael drove 210 miles in 3 and one-half hours. The parameters to calculate the speed are: d= 210 miles, t = 3.5 hours. The speed of Michael is:

[tex]\displaystyle v_M=\frac{210}{3.5}=60\ mi/h[/tex]

Jordan drove 330 miles in 6 hours, thus his speed is:

[tex]\displaystyle v_J=\frac{330}{6}=55\ mi/h[/tex]

It's clear that Michael drove faster than Jordan.
