Question

explain why a student who runs 3/4 mile in 6 minutes is faster than a student who runs 1/2 mile in 5 minutes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A student who runs 3/4 mile in 6 minutes is faster than a student who runs 1/2 mile in 5 minutes because when you simplify both fractions to per minute, the student who ran 3/4 mile in 6 minutes (1/8 mile per min) ran faster than the student who ran 1/2 mile in 5 minutes (1/10mile in 1 min).

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3/4mile}{6min}$ divided by 6 to get per min =

1/8 mile per min
