Question

Micheal-anthony and jocelyn are both running around the track at school. michael-anthony runs 3 miles in 20mins and continues running at this pace for 1 hour. jocelyn runs 4 miles in 30 mins and continues running at this pace for1 hour. how many miles does each person each person run in an hour? who runs faster?
explanation is needed

Answer 1

The number of miles each person runs after an hour is;

Michael Anthony = 9 miles

Jocelyn = 8 miles

The person that runs the fastest is;

Michael Anthony with a speed of 0.15 miles per minute.

Michael-Anthony runs 3 miles in 20 minutes

Now formula for speed is;

Speed = distance/time

Thus;

Speed of Michael Anthony = 3/20 miles per minute = 0.15 miles per minute

Thus, in 1 hour = 60 minutes,

Distance covered = 3/20 × 60

Distance covered = 9 miles

Jocelyn runs 4 miles in 30 minutes

Speed of Jocelyn = 4/30 = 0.133 miles per minute

Distance covered by Jocelyn in 1 hour = 60 minutes is; 0.133 × 60 = 8 miles
