To determine the speeds of both cars, we need to analyze the information provided.

For the red car:

  • To find the speed of the red car, we need to look at the distance traveled over a specific time frame from the graph. If the graph indicates the distance traveled after certain hours, you can use the formula for speed:

    \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

Assuming from the graph, the red car traveled a certain distance in a certain amount of time. For example, if the graph shows that the red car traveled 120 miles in 2 hours, the speed would be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Speed of Red Car} = \frac{120 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 60 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Please replace the distance and time values with those shown on your graph to find the specific speed for the red car.

For the blue car:

  • From the table, we can determine the speed using the distances provided. Let's look at the values in your table. I'm assuming the table looks like this:

| Number of Hours | Miles Traveled | |-----------------|----------------| | 3 | 162 | | 4 | 216 | | 5 | 270 |

Using the first entry (3 hours and 162 miles):

\[ \text{Speed of Blue Car} = \frac{162 \text{ miles}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 54 \text{ miles per hour} \]

For additional hour data in the table:

  • For 4 hours (216 miles):

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{216 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 54 \text{ miles per hour} \]

  • For 5 hours (270 miles):

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{270 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 54 \text{ miles per hour} \]

In all cases, the speed of the blue car is consistent at 54 miles per hour.

Final answers:

  • The speed of the red car is: [Insert Red Car Speed Here] miles per hour.
  • The speed of the blue car is: 54 miles per hour.

Feel free to provide the specific distance and time values from the graph to complete the analysis for the red car.
