Question 110566: Mike drove 135 miles in 2.5 hours. Sam drove 91 miles in 1.75 hours. Who drives
at the faster speed?
I am not totally sure about how to do this one either. Do I divide each one of the miles to one of the hours?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
THE FORMULA IS DISTANCE=RATE*TIME OR RATE=DISTANCE/TIME.
135/2.5=54 MPH FOR MIKE
91/1.75=52 MPH FOR SAM
MIKE WINS!!!!
