A Correct answer
Explanation

A's speed = 30 mph. Distance = 30 * 5 = 150 miles. B's speed = 15 m/s. Convert to mph: 15 * 2.236936 = 33.55404 mph. Distance = 33.55404 * 3 = 100.66212 miles. Quantity A (150) > Quantity B (100.66).

AI explanation

Calculate the distance traveled by A using the formula distance equals speed multiplied by time, giving 30 mph multiplied by 5 hours, which equals 150 miles. Convert the speed of B to miles per hour by multiplying 15 meters per second by 2.236936, giving approximately 33.55 mph. The distance traveled by B is 33.55 mph multiplied by 3 hours, which equals approximately 100.66 miles. Quantity A is 150 miles and Quantity B is 100.66 miles, so Quantity A is greater.
