Question

Jesse and Peyton were on scooters jesse traveled 15 in 6 seconds peyton travels 22 meters in 10 seconds who was moving faster? explain your reasoning​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Jesse

Step-by-step explanation:

Jesse's distance in 60 seconds would be ...

  (60 s)(15 m)/(6 s) = 150 m

Peyton's distance in 60 seconds would be ...

  (60 s)(22 m)/(10 s) = 132 m

Jesse travels farther in the same amount of time, so Jesse is moving faster.

You might find it simpler just to compute the rate of each.

  Jesse: (15 m)/(6 s) = 2.5 m/s

  Peyton: (22 m)/(10 s) = 2.2 m/s

Jesse's speed is higher.
