Question

Jay rode 2 kilometers on his bike. His sister Sammy rode 3000 meters on her bike. Who rode the farthest and how much farther did they ride (answer in km)?

• A. Jay; 1 km
• B. Sammy; 1 km
• C. Jay; 2 km
• D. Sammy; 2 km

Answer 1

The correct option is B Sammy; 1 km

Given, Jay rode 2 kms on his bike.
Also given that, Sammy rode 3000 mts on her bike.

$1000\text{m}=1\text{km}$
$\therefore 3000\text{m}=3\times 1000\text{m}=3\times 1\text{km}=3\text{km}$

$\therefore$ Sammy rode 3 kms on her bike.

Therefore, Sammy rode farther because she rode 3 kms and Jay only rode 2 kms and she rode 1 km (= 3 km - 2 km) more than Jay.
