Answer:
Marci is the faster runner.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sandi can run 348 cm in a second. Let's find out how many cm she can run in a minute: in a minute there are 60 seconds. So lets multiply 348cm times 60, this gives you 20,880. That is how much she travels in a minute, now let's find out how much she runs in an hour: if she runs 20,880 cm in an minute and there are 60 minutes in an hour, then all you have to do is multiply 20,880 times 60, this gives you 1,252,800. That is how many cm she runs in an hour. Now let's change from cm to miles. There are 160,934 cm in a mile. If we divide 1,252,800 by 160,934 this will give you
In order to find out what deal is better:
- We have to find the unit rate for each deal
- Total amount of paper towels ÷ The price
So it would be....
- 18 ÷ 14 = 1.285714
- 12 ÷ 10 = 1.2
Short Answer:
The better deal is 10 rolls of paper towels for $12.
Long Answer:
I wanted to find out the price per roll of paper towel for each deal so I created a unit rate problem which is the numerator divided by the denominator. From there, I was able to get my answers, compare which one was less than the other, and select the best deal.
