Just sell boats had a race elbow a traveled 40ft every 5 seconds and sell the bee travel 56 ft every 8 seconds which sailboat on the race and how fast was it going
40ft every 5sec has a unit rate of 8ft/sec. 56ft every 8sec has a unit rate of 7ft/sec. So, the one which was going 40ft every 5sec wins, and it was going at a rate of 8ft/sec.
What I would do is simplify First boat- Travels 40 ft every 5 seconds= 40/5= 8/1 so 8 ft per second Second boat- Travels 56 ft every 8 seconds= 56/8= 7/1 so 7 feet per second
The first boat travels the fastest with a speed of 7 ft per second
