Distance travelled by truck t is 80 km in 1 hour whereas distance covered by truck y is 180 km in 2 hours. Which truck travelled faster?
Added by Nathaniel H.
Step 1
Speed is calculated as distance divided by time. For truck t: Speed = \frac{80 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ hour}} = 80 \frac{\text{km}}{\text{hour}} For truck y: Speed = \frac{180 \text{ km}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 90 \frac{\text{km}}{\text{hour}} Show more…
