Andre and Yazmeen leave at the same time and travel 75 miles to a fair. Andre drives 11 miles in 12 minutes. Yazmeen drives 26 miles in 24 minutes. If they continue at the same rates, who will arrive at the fair first? Explain

To get to know who will reach fast we need to compare the speed of Andre and Yazmeen.

speed=distance/time

Andre's speed will be:

Distance=11 miles

time=12 min

speed=11/12=0.92 miles/min

Yazmeen's speed:

distance=26 miles

time=24min

speed=26/24=1.08 miles/min

From above calculation we conclude that Yazmeen will reach first because she was traveling at a faster speed that Andre
