Question

Aysha ran 400 meters in 10 minutes on Monday and she ran 825 meters in 25 minutes on Tuesday. On which day she ran faster?

Answer 1

First we are going to make them equal to compare

400 / 10 and 825/25
We are going to make the denominator equal so we will multiple 10 by 10 and 25 by 4 we will get 100 for both. The denominator are equal. Now multiply the nominator with the number you multiplied the denominator. So, 400 will be multiplied by 10 and 825 will be multiplied by4. We will get 4000 and 3300. Obviously she ran faster on monday

Answer 2

Monday

Explanation:

Day 1 (Monday):

10 minutes to seconds: 10 x 60 = 600 seconds

`(400m)/(600s)`= 0.67 m/s

Therefore day 1 she ran at 0.67 m/s

Day 2 (Tuesday):

25 minutes to seconds: 25 x 60 = 1500 seconds

`(825m)/(1500s)` = 0.55 m/s

Therefore day 2 she ran at 0.55 m/s

She was faster day 1 (Monday)!
