Giovanni Norris · Answer 1

Here the average speed for going to friends house = 300/5 miles/hr

= 60 miles/hour

And average speed while coming back = 420/7 miles/hour

=60 miles/hour

I. e. 300/5 = 420/7 = 60 miles/hr

Hence the ratios are equivalent in both ways

Kennedi Cantrell · Answer 2

300 miles/5 hours=60 miles per hour

420 miles/7 hours=60 miles per hour

therefore they both have an equivalent proportion of 60 miles per hour
