Respuesta :

Answer:

The car is travelling faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance between two cities = 243 miles

Time of train = 4 hours

Speed of car = 65 miles/hours

We need to calculate the speed of train

Using formula of speed

[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

Where, d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

[tex]v=\dfrac{243}{4}[/tex]

[tex]v=60.75\ miles/ hours[/tex]

Hence, The car is travelling faster.
