Answer:

Allison set the fastest pace per lap.

Explanation:

My thought process: Divide the laps by their time to get laps per minute.

Martha: 20/32 = 0.625 laps per minute

32/20 = 1.6 minutes per lap

Allison: 16/25 = 0.64 laps per minute

25/16 = 1.5625 minutes per lap

Rachel: 17/27.2 = 0.625 laps per minute

27.2/17 = 1.6 minutes per lap
