Answer:
Noah takes 20 minutes to get to his house, that is, 10 minutes less than Charlotte.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Charlotte walks home from school every day at a rate of 4 miles per hour and it takes her 30-minutes to reach home, while her brother, Noah, runs home from the same school every day at a rate of 6 miles per hour, to determine how many fewer minutes does it take Noah than Charlotte to reach home from school each day the following calculation must be performed:
Charlotte:
4 mph = 4/60 = 0.0666 miles per minute
0.0666 x 30 = 2 miles
So the distance from the school to her house is 2 miles
Noah:
6/60 = 0.1 mile per minute
2 / 0.1 = 20
Thus, Noah takes 20 minutes to get to his house, that is, 10 minutes less than Charlotte.
