Given:
Which is traveling faster:
Traveling 150 yards in 40 seconds or 406 feet in 35 seconds
First, we will make the units similar, so we will convert from yards to feet
1 yard = 3 feet
So, 150 yards = 150*3 = 450 feet
Now, we will find the unit rate when traveling 150 yards (450 feet) in 40 seconds
[tex]rate=\frac{450\text{ }feet}{40\text{ }seconds}=11.25\text{ feet/second}[/tex]
And we will find the unit rate when traveling 406 feet in 35 seconds
[tex]rate=\frac{406\text{ feet}}{35\text{ seconds}}=11.6\text{ feet/second}[/tex]
Compare the two rates
So, 11.6 > 11.25
So, the answer will be:
The faster traveling is 406 feet in 35 seconds
