Question

Amy jogs 1/3 of a mile in 1/15 of an hour, while john takes 1/30 of an hour to jog 1/5 of a mile. If they continue at this rate, who would jog farther in one hour and by how much.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Amy jogs 1/3 of a mile in 1/15 of an hour and john takes 1/30 of an hour to jog 1/5 of a mile.

Speed of Amy,

$v_1=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}\ miles }{\dfrac{1}{15}\ h}=5\ mph$

Speed of John,

$v_2=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{5}\ miles }{\dfrac{1}{30}\ h}=6\ mph$

John will jog farther in one hour as he is moving with faster speed. The speed of John is 1 mph more than Amy.
