Answer:
Nathaniel ran fastest
Step-by-step explanation:
For Joseph
Joseph ran 2 3/4 miles 2 /5 of an hour.
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = 2 3/4 miles ÷ 2/5 hour
= 11/4 ÷ 2/5
= 11/4 × 5/2
= 55/8 miles/hour or 6.875 miles/hour
How fast did he run in 1 hour? (try to leave your answer in a fraction)
Hence, this is calculated as:
2/5 hour = 55/8 miles per hour
1 hour = x
Cross Multiply
x = 55/8 ÷ 2/5
x = 55/8 × 5/2
x = 275/16 miles per hour
x = 17 3/16 miles per hour
Nathaniel ran LaTeX: 8 2/3 miles in 4 /3 of an hour. How fast did Nathaniel run in 1 hour? (try to leave your answer in a fraction)
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = 8 2/3 miles ÷ 4/3hour
= 26/3 ÷ 4/3
= 26/3 × 3/4
= 26/4 miles/hour
How fast did he run in 1 hour? (try to leave your answer in a fraction)
Hence, this is calculated as:
4/3 hour = 26/4miles per hour
1 hour = x
Cross Multiply
x = 26/4 ÷ 4/3
x = 26/4 × 3/4
x = 78/16 miles per hour
x = 4 14/16 miles per hour
= 4 7/8 miles per hour
Who ran the fastest, Nathaniel or Joseph?
Hence, from the calculation above, Nathaniel ran fastest
