If one person travels at twice the speed of another person, they will cover more miles in the same amount of time. This is because speed is directly proportional to the distance covered over time.
Let's assume the slower person's speed is "S" (in miles per hour or any other unit of speed), and the faster person's speed is "2S" (twice the speed of the slower person). Now, let's consider a fixed time interval, let's say one hour.
For the slower person traveling at speed "S," in one hour, they will cover a distance of "S" miles.
For the faster person traveling at twice the speed (2S), in one hour, they will cover a distance of "2S" miles.
Since 2S is greater than S, the person traveling at twice the speed will cover more miles in the same amount of time.
To put it simply, when one person's speed is doubled compared to another person's speed, they will cover double the distance in the same time interval. Speed and distance are directly related, and this relationship is fundamental in understanding concepts related to motion and travel.
