Question

Sara ran 10km in 2.5 hours. Katerina ran 7.5 km in 2 hours. Candice ran 9.5 km in 2.25 hours. Who had the fastest average speed? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

10 km ÷ 2.5 hours = 4 km/h — This is Sara's record

7.5 km ÷ 2 hours = 3.75 km/h — This is Katerina's record

9.5 km ÷ 2.25 hours = 4.2 km/h — This is Candice's record

Therefore, the answer is Candice had the fastest average speed.
