Cameron and Brittany both live eighteen miles from school. If Cameron drives to school at 45mph and Brittany drives to school at 54mph, how many more minutes will it take Cameron to get to school?
---------------------------------------------
Careron DATA:
distance = 18 mi ; rate = 45 mph; time = d/r = 18/45 = 2/5 hr = 24 minutes
----------------------------------------------------------
Brittany DATA;
distance = 18 mi ; rate = 54 mph ; time = d/r = 18/54 = (1/3) hr = 20 minutes
-----------------------
Cameron will take 4 more minutes than Brittany.
