Answer 1

Answer: Fred will run 8 miles in 1 hour. Janet will run 9miles in 1 hour. Janet will run 1 miles farther in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula:

• Speed: distance /time

Replacing with the values given, we will obtain the speed rate for each one.

Fred: 4miles /30 minutes= 0.1333 miles per minute

Janet: 6miles /40 minutes =0.15 miles per minute

In 1 hour (60 minutes)

Fred = 0.1333 x 60 = 8 miles

Janet= 0.15 x60 = 9 miles

Fred will run 8 miles in 1 hour. Janet will run 9miles in 1 hour. Janet will run 1 miles farther in 1 hour

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Fred: 4m: 30 minutes=8 miles per hour
janet: 6m: 40minutes= 3 miles every 20 minutes=9 miles per hour
