Question

andre,rick,and ty were practicing for a track cycling race. andre covered a distance of 750m in 3 min. rick clocked 4 minutees for a distace of 800 m. ty raced 950 m in 5 minutes. who coveredthe least distance per minute

Answer 1

Ty covered the least distance per min.

Explanation:

Who covered the shortest distance per minute, or who rode his bike most slowly?

Andre's rate: (750 m) / (3 min) = 250/3 m/min

Rick's rate: (800 m) / (4 min) = 200 m/min

Ty's rate: (950 m) / (5 min) = 190 m/min

Ty was the rider who covered the least distance per minute; his rate was the slowest.

Answer 2

Answer: Ty covered the least distance per minute

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the speed ratio for each case, using the formula:

Speed = distance (meters) / time (minutes)

• Andre = 750/3 =250 meters per minute
• Rick = 800/4 =200 meters per minute
• Ty = 950/5 = 190 meters per minute

Analyzing the results, Ty covered the least distance per minute because Ty has the lowest speed rate.

190 <200<250

Ty<Rick<André
