rosa is fastest, jose is slowest

use distance/time to figure the speed

before anything convert the values so that it can be km/h

so basically make the times all to hours is what I did through dividing the minutes by 60

letty

3km÷(40/60)hrs = 4.5km/h

jose

6km ÷ 2hrs= 3km/h

pedro

6km ÷ (90/60) hrs = 4km/h

rosa

9km ÷ (1+(20/60)) hrs = 6.75km/h

therefore rosa is the fastest walking at a speed of 6.75km/h whereas jose is the slowest, walking at a speed of 3km/h
