Question

lenworth takes 4 minutes 12 seconds to run 1 km. sylvester takes only 4 minutes. what is the ratio of lenworth time to sylvester​

Answer 1

To compare the two running times, we need to express them in the same units. We can convert Sylvester's time to seconds by multiplying by 60:

Sylvester: 4 minutes x 60 seconds/minute = 240 seconds

Lenworth: 4 minutes 12 seconds = 4 x 60 + 12 = 252 seconds

Now we can find the ratio of Lenworth's time to Sylvester's time:

Lenworth/Sylvester = 252/240 = 21/20

So the ratio of Lenworth's time to Sylvester's time is 21:20.
