Answer:

Tisha is faster than Latrell by 3 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Latrell= 122\ miles for\ 2\ hours[/tex]

[tex]Tisha = 96\ miles\ for\ 1.5\ hours[/tex]

Required

Determine how much faster is Tisha than Latrell

First, we need to determine the average speed of both individuals

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

For Latrell:

[tex]Speed = \frac{122\ miles}{2\ hours}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 61\ miles/hour[/tex]

For Tisha

[tex]Speed = \frac{96\ miles}{1.5\ hours}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 64\ miles/hour[/tex]

Calculate the difference

[tex]Difference = 64\ miles/hour - 61\ miles/hour[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 3\ miles/hour[/tex]

Hence:

Tisha is faster than Latrell by 3 miles/hour
