Answer 1

Mai travels 2.5 meters in 1 second

Priya travels 2.2 meters in 1 second

Explanation:

Try finding how many meters they travel in ONE second) Mai and Priya were on scooters.

For Mai

Mai traveled 15 meters in 6 seconds.

Hence,

6 seconds = 15 meters

1 second = x meters

Cross Multiply

6x = 15 meters

x = 15/6

x = 2.5 meters

Hence, Mai travels 2.5 meters in 1 second

For Priya

Priya travels 22 meters in 10 seconds.

Hence,

10 seconds = 22 meters

1 second = x meters

Cross Multiply

10x = 22 meters

x = 22/10

x = 2.2 meters

Hence, Priya travels 2.2 meters in 1 second
