Question

On their most recent 8-mile training run, Pepe averaged a speed of 12 of a mile in 4.5 minutes, while Paula averaged 34 of a mile in 7.5 minutes.
How many minutes did it take the faster runner to finish the 8 mile run

Answer 1

Answer:

1.78 min

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you have to figure out the fastest runner

pepe 12 miles in 4.5 minutes

and paula ran 34 miles in 7.5 minutes

if you divide miles by minutes you get how many miles they ran in one minute

12/4.5=~2.67

34/7.5=~4.53

So you can see that paula is faster

if she ran ~4.5 miles in a minute then it would take her ~1.78 minutes to run 8 miles

they're both super humans though like woah
