Jeff used the fact that a motorcycle can travel 300 miles in 4 hours to find the unit rate of the speed limit on the highway is 65 miles per hour is the motorcycle going faster than slower than or equal to the speed limit?

Answer 1

To determine whether the motorcycle is going faster than, slower than, or equal to the speed limit, we first need to calculate the speed of the motorcycle.

Jeff stated that the motorcycle can travel 300 miles in 4 hours. To find the speed, we divide the distance by the time:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 75 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Now, we compare this speed to the speed limit, which is 65 miles per hour.

Since 75 miles per hour (the speed of the motorcycle) is greater than 65 miles per hour (the speed limit), we can conclude that the motorcycle is going faster than the speed limit.
