Question

Amir walks 1/2 mile in 15 minutes. Jody walks 2/3 mile in 20 minutes. Who walks at a faster rate?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

Amir walks = 1/2 miles in 15 min.

Jody walks = 2/3 miles in 20 minutes

write each rate,

1/2/15 , 2/3/20

so now,

calculate the fraction,

$\frac{1}{2 \times 15} = \frac{1}{30} \\ \frac{2}{3 \times 20} = \frac{1}{3 \times 10} = \frac{1}{30}$

so,

both walk at the same/equal rate.

hope this answer helps you dear!

Answer 2

Answer:

Jody walks at a faster rate because it would take Amir 30 minutes to walk a mile and Jody approximately 26.6 minutes to walk a mile.
