Roberts car travels 600 feet and 20 seconds Larry's motorcycle travels 300 feet 12 seconds which is faster the car or the motorcycle explain show work

find unit rates?

compare unit rates?

To work this out use the equation;

Speed = distance / time

First lets work out the speed of Robert's car.

600 / 20 = 30

(Robert's car travels 30feet per second)

Next lets do the same for Larry's motorcycle.

300 / 12 = 25

(Larry's motorcycle travels 25feet per second)

We now see the Robert's car is faster by 5feet per second

Find and compare the unit rates:

Robert: 600 ft / 20 sec = 30 ft/sec

Larry: 300 ft / 12 sec = 25 ft/sec

It's obvious that Robert's ride is faster than Larry's.
