Danny is bringing his sailboat out to the ocean. When he uses his 24 square foot sail he goes 50 MPH. When he uses his 12 square foot sail he goes 20 MPH. He plans to travel 200 miles. How many hours faster is the bigger sail than the smaller one? | The bigger sail will make the trip in 4 hours because 200 / 50 = <<200/50=4>>4
The smaller sail will make the trip in 10 hours because 200 / 20 = <<200/20=10>>10
