Question

question 1 - 13 two cars are traveling across texas. car w leaves houston and travels 320 kilometers in 8 hours. car x leaves dallas and travels 240 km in 6 hours. which statement below is true about car w and car xs trips? car w traveled faster than car x. car w and car x had the same average speed. car w and car x traveled the same distance. car w traveled slower than car x.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate speed of Car W

Speed formula is $v = \frac{d}{t}$. For Car W, $d = 320$ km and $t = 8$ hours. So $v_W=\frac{320}{8}=40$ km/h.

Step2: Calculate speed of Car X

For Car X, $d = 240$ km and $t = 6$ hours. So $v_X=\frac{240}{6}=40$ km/h.

Answer:

Car W and Car X had the same average speed.
