Answer:
At 0.77 mi/min, Matt travels faster than Jennifer, who averages
only 0.67 mi/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed = distance/time
<em>For Samantha,
</em>
Average speed = 10/15
Average speed = 0.67 mi/min
<em>For Matt,
</em>
Average speed = 23/30
Average speed = 0.77 mi/min
Wdym? Is there a shape or is it a fraction
As for this problem, it would be best to approach this with a ratio to ratio approach. This would then involve the equation with fractions which is the common conversion from ratios to easily solve the problems concerning these. The equation then would look somehow like this:
0.01 miles / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours
The easiest way would be just to multiply the numerator, which is the miles, to 2.4. So when it is multiplied to the numerator, the equation then would turn to:
0.01 miles x 2.4 / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours
0.024 miles would be the answer.
