Answer:
Difference = 3.2 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Lena drives 24 miles in 1.5 hours. Ras drives 36 km in 1 hour 15 min.
For average speed of Lena,
d = 24 miles = 38.4 km
t = 1.5 h
[tex]v=\dfrac{38.4}{1.5}= 25.6\ km/h[/tex]
For average speed of Ras,
d = 36 km
t = 1h 15 min = 1.25 h
[tex]v=\dfrac{36}{1.25}=28.8\ km/h[/tex]
Difference = 28.8-25.6
= 3.2 km/h
So, the difference between their average speed is 3.2 km/hr.
