Which is traveling faster traveling 75 miles in 1 hour or traveling 280 miles in 3.5

Traveling 280 miles in 3.5 hours is faster than traveling 75 miles in 1 hour  

Solution:

Given that, we have to find which is traveling faster traveling 75 miles in 1 hour or traveling 280 miles in 3.5

The distance traveled is given as:

Case 1: Traveling 75 miles in one hour

Here distance = 75 miles and time = 1 hour

Case 2: Traveling 280 miles in 3.5 hours

Here distance = 280 miles and time = 3.5 hours

Now by comparing speed of case 1 and case 2, we get 80 > 70

Hence, traveling 280 miles in 3.5 hours is faster than traveling 75 miles in 1 hour.
