The second car gets there quicker.

Explanation:

Mph stands for Miles per Hour and shows the SPEED.

MIles gives the DISTANCE that is travelled,

In each case you can use the values given to calculate the TIME taken for each of the journeys.

"Time" = ("Distance")/("Speed")

100 miles at 60 mph: Time = 100/60 = 1 2/3 hours

120 miles at 75 mph: Time = 120/75 = 1 3/5 hours

1 2/3 hours is 1 hour and 40 minutes

1 3/5 hours is 1 hour and 36 minutes

The second car get to its destination quicker.
