Question

how do i explain my answer if amy run 150 meter dash in 50 seconds. John run 1200 meters in 400 seconds. Who runs faster per second?

Answer 1

Amy and John run at the same rate of 3 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the speeds of Amy and John, we need to calculate their rates per second.

Amy ran 150 meters in 50 seconds, so her rate is 150/50 = 3 meters per second.

John ran 1200 meters in 400 seconds, so his rate is 1200/400 = 3 meters per second as well.

Both Amy and John run at the same rate of 3 meters per second, so they are equally fast per second.
