Question

Ruben and Claire are training to run a marathon in the spring. Ruben runs 16 miles over a 4-day period. Claire runs 12 miles over a 3-day period. Are they running at the same rate of speed? Respond "1" for yes or "2" for no.

Answer 1

Yes, 1

Explanation:

16/4=4

12/3=4

They both ran 4 mph each day.

Answer 2

1, yes

It would be that because if Ruben runs 16 miles over a 4-day period, it would mean that he ran 4 miles a day (16/4). And if Claire runs 12 miles over a 3-day period, it would mean that she also ran 4 mi per day (12/3)
