Which is Further - Changed Both Units (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on comparing distances traveled by two entities when given their speeds in different units over various time frames. It involves unit conversion and multiplication to determine who travels further. This type of problem not only tests basic arithmetic but also emphasizes the application of the concepts of speed, distance, and time under the umbrella of more advanced scenarios. These exercises require converting speeds into a common unit and calculating distances by multiplying the speed by the time, testing both mathematical skills and attention to detail.
