To find the time it would take Bob to travel 2 kilometers, or 2000 meters, use the formula Distance = Rate * Time
2000 meters = 125 meters/second * Time
Time = 16 seconds
1/4 of a minute = 60 seconds / 4 = 15 seconds
Since Bob travelled more than 2000 meters, the time that Bob travelled would be greater than 16 seconds. Since 16 seconds is already greater than 15 seconds, Quantity A is greater.
2000 meters = 125 meters/second * Time
Time = 16 seconds
1/4 of a minute = 60 seconds / 4 = 15 seconds
Since Bob travelled more than 2000 meters, the time that Bob travelled would be greater than 16 seconds. Since 16 seconds is already greater than 15 seconds, Quantity A is greater.
