Gloria rides a bike 8 miles in 40 minutes. Nanette rides a bike 5 miles in 30 minutes. If they continues to ride at those speeds, who will bike the farthest in 1 hour? How much farther? Please show work

Gloria will travel the farthest in 1 hour by 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the unit rates of both speeds:

Gloria's 40 minutes divided by 8 miles is 5 minutes per mile

Nanette's 30 minutes divided by 5 miles is 6 minutes per mile

Looking at this, we can clearly see Gloria's rate is faster due to the fact that 5 minutes per mile is faster than 6 minutes per mile.

Now, to calculate how far they can travel in one mile, to determine the difference between the 2 results. That difference will answer the second question.

Gloria's 5 minutes per mile will result in 12 miles in an hour

Nanette's 6 minutes per mile will result in 10 miles in an hour

2x^2+5x+17

your welcome. : )

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
