The answer to your question is: Will is the fastest

Explanation:

Data

Jake runs 13 ft per second

Will runs 391 ft in 45 seconds

Jessica runs 1 mile in 592 seconds

Zach runs 747 ft in a minute

Process

Jake

speed = 13 ft/s

Will

speed = 391 ft / 45 s

= 8.7 ft/s

Jessica

1 mile ---------------- 5280 ft

speed = 5280 ft/ 592 s

= 8.9 ft/s

Zach

speed = 747 ft / 60 s

= 12.45 ft/s
