The titanic was an ocean liner that could travel 247 miles in 9 1/2 hours. Another ocean liner could travel 1,233 in 1 1/2 days. Which ocean liner was faster?

To answer this question let's first find the unit rate. the titanic was 247 over 9.5 or 26 miles per hour. we run into problems with the second one but to answer the problem w e can convert the days into hours. or 276 hours. now we divide 1233/276 and get roughly 4.4 miles per hour. the titanic was overwhelmingly faster.

For this, you have to calculate the Unit value,

Unit value of 1rst one, 247*2/19 = 26

Unit value of 2nd one, 1233*2/11 = 224.18

So, 2nd one was faster
