Answer 2

Day Distance Time Rate

Tuesday 4 38 9.5

Wednesday 6 72 12

Thursday 4 37 9.25

Saturday 3 31.5 10.5

Sunday 12 138 11.5

On Thursday, she ran 1 mile in 9.25 minutes, which is the fastest speed.

Explanation:

Consider the provided table.

We need to find the unit rate.

Unit rate is the time taken to run one mile. Here the unit rate is the number of minutes divided by the number of miles for each day.

Consider the table:

For Tuesday:

Distance is 4 miles and time is 38 minutes

The unit rate is: 38 ÷ 4 = 9.5 minutes to run one mile

For Wednesday:

Distance is 6 miles and time is 72 minutes

The unit rate is: 72 ÷ 6 = 12 minutes to run one mile

For Thursday:

Distance is 4 miles and time is 37 minutes

The unit rate is: 37 ÷ 4 = 9.25 minutes to run one mile

For Saturday:

Distance is 3 miles and time is 31.5 minutes

The unit rate is: 31.5 ÷ 3 = 10.5 minutes to run one mile

For Sunday:

Distance is 12 miles and time is 138 minutes

The unit rate is: 138 ÷ 12 = 11.5 minutes to run one mile

On Thursday, she ran 1 mile in 9.25 minutes, which is the fastest speed.
