Question

Four students recorded the time it took them to walk to school from their homes as shown in the table below.

Students | Distance (m) | Time (min)
----------------------------------------------------
Student 1| 1,600| 20
Student 2| 1,330| 19
Student 3| 1,200| 16
Student 4| 1,125| 15

Which student has the greatest average speed?

Answer 1

To find the average speed of each student, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time it took.

For Student 1, the average speed is 1600/20 = 80 m/min.

For Student 2, the average speed is 1330/19 = 70 m/min.

For Student 3, the average speed is 1200/16 = 75 m/min.

For Student 4, the average speed is 1125/15 = 75 m/min.

From the calculations, Student 1 has the greatest average speed of 80 m/min.
