Question

The distances and times from a track meet for four schools are shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

Average time for West Middle was maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average time for a track meet for schools = $\frac{\text{Time}}{\text{Distance}}$

For Eastbay Middle,

Average time per mile = $\frac{42}{7}$

                                     = 6 minutes per mile

For Northwest Middle,

Average time = $\frac{25}{5}$

                       = 5 minutes per mile

For South Central Middle,

Average time = $\frac{28}{4}$

                       = 7 minutes per mile

For West Middle,

Average time = $\frac{48}{6}$

                       = 8 minutes per mile

Therefore, average time for West Middle (8 minutes per minute) was maximum.
