Question

Mason and Jacob each ran the 100 meter dash. Mason ran the race in 10.5 seconds and Jacob ran it in 11.5 seconds. Who ran the race faster?

Answer 1

Mason

Explanation:

speed = distance/time

speed ∝ 1/time

Speed is inversely proportional to time, so, the shorter the time, the faster the speed.

Mason had the shorter time, so he ran the race faster.
