Answer 1

Answer:

a) Who jogs faster?

Your friend jogs faster because he jogs with a speed of 10.91 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance(km)/Time(hours)

Question 2 How much sooner will the faster jogger finish a five-kilometer race?

Your friend's will finish a 5km race at a speed of 18.18 km/hr

Your speed is :

You jog 2 kilometers in 12 minutes.

Convert 12 minutes to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

12 minutes = x

x = 12/60

x = 1/5 hour

Your speed is calculated as:

2km/1/5hour

= 2 km ÷ 1/5 hour

= 2 × 5

= 10 km/hr

Your friend's speed is calculated as:

Your friend jogs 3 kilometers in 16.5 minutes.

Convert 16.5 minutes to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

16.5 minutes = x

x = 16.5/60

x = 0.275 hour

Your speed is calculated as:

3km/0.275 hour

= 10.909090909 km/hr

Approximately = 10.91km/hr

a) Who jogs faster?

Your friend jogs faster because he jogs with a speed of 10.91 km/hr

Question 2 How much sooner will the faster jogger finish a five-kilometer race?

Your friend jogs faster, hence:

3 km = 10.91 km/hr

5km = x

x = 5 × 10.91/3

x = 18.183333333 km/hr

Your friend's will finish a 5km race at a speed of 18.18 km/hr
