Nina's rate is 12.7 mph and Sophia's rate is 10 mph. Therefore, Nina is faster.

Answer:

12.705 miles/hr; Nina is faster

Explanation:

If there are 5,280 feet in a mile then:


63360ft*(1mile)/(5280 ft) =12 miles

There are 3600 seconds in an hour therefore


3400 s*(1hr)/(3600s) =0.944444444 hr

if we divide distance and time we have nina's rate


S=(d)/(t) =(12)/(0.944) =12.705 miles/hr

Nina's rate is bigger than sophia's 10 miles/hour rate
