Question

Stephan con run 3 miles in 15.75 minutes. Keisha con run 5 miles in 22.6 minutes. Who can run faster?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Keisha can run faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephan can run

3 miles in 15.75 min.

so divide  15.75 by 3 min which would give you:

5.25 mi.

Now Keisha can run

 5 miles in226 min  

now divide 22.6 by 5 min which would give you

4.52 min

so that means Stephan can run faster then Keisha since 4.52<5.25

Keisha can run faster, since  4.52<5.25

Answer 2

Answer: Keisha can run faster than Stephan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out how long it takes for them to run a mile.

$\frac{15.75}{3} =5.25\\\frac{3}{3} = 1$

It would take Stephan 5.25 minutes to run a mile

$\frac{22.6}{5} =4.52\\\\\frac{5}{5} =1$

It would take Keisha 4.52 minutes to run a mile

Since Keisha takes less time to run a mile she is faster.
