Answer:

Joshua is traveling at a faster rate

Step-by-step explanation:

2 hours = 120 minutes (To have the same units of measurement)

30 minutes / 7 miles = 30 ÷ 7 = 4.285 = 4.3  (Brook)

120 minutes / 25 miles = 120 ÷ 25 = 4.8   (Joshua)

To begin, you would have to convert 2 hours into minutes (2 x 60), which gives you 120 minutes. Then divide your minutes by miles for both Brook and Joshua. Then once you've done that, you can then compare the travel rate of both and determine that Joshua is traveling faster.
