Answer 1

Answer: Stephanie is the fastest

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to find who runs faster:

Liz:

$8 ft/s$

Katie:

$\frac{350 ft}{31 s}=11.29 ft/s$

Stephanie:

$\frac{1 mile}{388 s}. \frac{5280 ft}{1 mile}=\frac{5280 ft}{388 s}=13.60 ft/s$

Noah:

$\frac{541 ft}{1 min}. \frac{1 min}{60 s}=9.01 ft/s$

As we can see after comparing, Stephanie is the fastest, since she travels more distance in less time.
