Question

If andre ran 2 kilometers in 15 minutes and jada ran 3 kilometers in 20 minutes, and they both ran at a constant speed did they run at the same speed and why ? Pleaseee helpppp

Answer 1

Answer:

They did not run at the same speed. Calculation of their speed shows that Jada was running at a higher speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first calculate the speed of each person using the units provided so that we  do not complicate the question.

speed =  distance covered/time taken

Andre's speed = 2 km/15 min = 0.133 km/min

Jada's speed = 3km/20 min = 0.15 km/min

Clearly we can see that Jada was running at a higher speed than Andre. The question says they were running at constant speed not equal speed. That just means each person maintained their speed, they did not get faster or slower.
