Answer:

"Penny had a faster unit rate per hour. Faster by 56.4 km/hr"

Step-by-step explanation:

We need all the rates to be converted in hour.

Rocket:

208 km/ 50 minutes converted to hour:

[tex]\frac{208KM}{50Mins}*\frac{60Mins}{1HR}=\frac{208*60}{50}\frac{KM}{HR}=249.6[/tex]

Penny:

153 km/30 minutes converted to hour is simple

60 minutes in an hour so 153 * 2 = 306

THus, 306 KM/HR

Penny had a faster unit rate per hour by 306 - 249.6 = 56.4 km/hr
