Comparing Rates of Speed

The video tutorial covers various rate comparisons, including walking speeds, parachute descents, snowfall rates, fish swimming speeds, and math problem-solving speeds. Each section involves calculating rates and comparing them to determine which is faster or slower. The tutorial emphasizes understanding and applying rate calculations in different contexts.

Who walks faster: someone covering 60 feet in 10 seconds or someone covering 42 feet in 6 seconds?

• Cannot be determined

• 60 feet in 10 seconds

• 42 feet in 6 seconds

• Both walk at the same speed

Between a person walking 60 feet in 10 seconds and another taking 5 seconds to walk 25 feet, who is faster?

• Cannot be determined

• Both walk at the same speed

• 25 feet in 5 seconds

• 60 feet in 10 seconds

Which parachute has a slower descent: a red one falling 10 feet in 4 seconds or a blue one falling 12 feet in 6 seconds?

• Red parachute

• Both have the same descent rate

• Cannot be determined

• Blue parachute

Which city had a heavier snowfall rate: Buffalo with 22 inches in 12 hours or Oswego with 31 inches in 15 hours?

• Both had the same rate

• Cannot be determined

• Oswego

• Buffalo

Is the swimming speed of a striped marlin at 70 miles per hour faster or slower than a sailfish that swims 40 miles in 30 minutes?

• Striped marlin is faster

• Sailfish is faster

• Both swim at the same speed

• Cannot be determined

Who solves math problems faster: John solving 6 problems in 20 minutes or Joaquin solving 1 problem every 4 minutes?

• John

• Cannot be determined

• Both solve at the same rate

• Joaquin
