Answer:

casey has the faster rate

Explanation:

first multiply jessicas race distance and time by 2

30 * 2

= 60

5 * 2

= 10

we did that so both jessicas time and caseys time was the same, making it easier to solve ( also by this point we already know who has the faster rate )

now we are going to divide both of their times and distances by 5

casey

10/5

= 2

45/5

= 9

jessica

10/5

= 2

60/5

12

the step is to divide their times/distances once again but this time by 2

casey

2/1

= 1

9/2

= 4.5

jessica

2/1

= 1

12/2

= 6

and our answer is 4.5 or casey !

4.5 > 6

hope this helps you! :)
