Mai and Jada are both running on a treadmill. Mai travels 5 miles in 15 minutes. Jada travels 4 miles in 14 minutes. Who ran at

sasho [114]

Answer:

Mai

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate, you must determine who is going faster per minute. To do this, you must divide the total number of miles by the total number of minutes.

Mai: 5 miles / 15 minutes = 1/3 miles per minute

Jada: 4 miles / 14 minutes = 2/7 miles per minute

Then, use a common denominator to make calculations easier:

Mai: 1/3 * 7/7

Jada: 2/7 * 3/3

You should get:

Mai: 7/21 miles per minute

Jada: 6/21 miles per minute

By looking at this, you can see that Mai is traveling slightly faster, going more miles than Jada per minute.
