His average rate is 120 meters per minute.
Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
it is A
36/27=1.3
7x1.3=9.1
The actual length is 9.1meters
To find the answer, we can first find the distance each of them have, then divide it by their speed to find the time needed.
Distance Steve need to travel: 300 feet
Distance Paula need to travel:
300+175(behind steve) = 475 feet
Time needed respectively:
Steve: 300 ÷ 9 = 33.33.. seconds
Paula: 475 ÷ 15 = 31.66... seconds
As we can see from the result, Paula would take less time to reach the goal (31.66<33.33),
therefore, Paula win the bike race by:
33.33-31.67
=1.66...
≈1.67 feet
Thus Paula won by 1.67 feet.
Hope it helps!
