Question

2. Delia and Beto left for school at the same time.

Answer 1

Answer:

Beto will get to the school first.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Delia lives 3/4 mile from school and walks at a pace of

16 minutes per mile.

So Delia takes $\frac{3}{4} \times 16 =$ 12 minutes to reach school.

While Beto lives 3 1/2 miles from school  and bikes at a pace of 3 minutes per mile.

So Beto takes $\frac{7}{2} \times 3 =$ 10.5 minutes to reach school.

Therefore, Beto will get to the school first.
