Question

Jurgen runs a 31 mile race in 5 hours. Greta runs a 13 mile race in 2 hours. Who runs at a faster rate? Explain your reasoning.​

Answer 1

Greta has a faster rate since 6.5 > 6.2

Explanation:

Let us check the ratio so 31/5 = 6.2 and 13/2 = 6.5, so even though 31 appears larger than 13, Greta has a faster rate since 6.5 > 6.2
