Two sailboats how do you resemble a traveled 40 feet in every 5 Seconds in a sailboat be traveling 56 feet every eight seconds which sailboat rap one Ray's

Sailboat A won the race, and it was going 8 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two sailboats had a race. Sailboat A traveled 40 feet every 5 seconds, and sailboat B traveled 56 feet every 8 seconds. Which sailboat won the race, and how fast was it going?

Sailboat A won the race, and it was going 7 feet per second.

Sailboat A won the race, and it was going 8 feet per second.

Sailboat B won the race, and it was going 7 feet per second.

Sailboat B won the race, and it was going 8 feet per second.

Speed is the rate of change of distance. It is the ratio of distance traveled to time taken to reach the distance. It is given by the formula:

Speed = distance / time

For sailboat A: Speed = distance traveled/ time taken = 40 feet / 5 seconds = 8 ft/s

For sailboat B: Speed = distance traveled/ time taken = 56 feet / 8 seconds = 7 ft/s

Since the speed of sailboat A is greater than the speed of sailboat B, therefore Sailboat A won the race, and it was going 8 feet per second.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
