Tom rides his skateboard 2.4km in 20 mins and Max rides his scooter 3.6km in 30 mins. Who is moving at a faster rate (speed)? Choose the correct formula and show your work. (what you are plugging into the calculator) Use proper units in your answer.

The are both moving at the same speed

Explanation:

Given the following :

Tom = 2.4km in 20 minutes

Max = 3.6km in 30 minutes

To calculate the rider moving at a faster spedd, we need to calculate the speed of each rider.

Speed = distance / time

Tom's speed :

Distance = 2.4km = 2.4 × 1000 = 2400meters

Time = 20 minutes = 20 × 60 = 1200 seconds

Speed = (2400 / 1200) = 2 meter per second

Max's speed :

Distance = 3.6km = 3.6 × 1000 = 3600meters

Time = 30 minutes = 30 × 60 = 1800 seconds

Speed = (3600 / 1800) = 2 meter per second

Both Tom and Max are riding at the same speed(rate)
