Question

Part A Shaunice, Joshua, and Juan ran several laps around the track. They recorded some data based on 6 of the laps that they ran. The table shows the amount of time that it took Shaunice to complete 6 of the laps that she ran. What was the difference between the average pace per lap for Shaunice and the average pace per lap for Joshua? Enter your answer in the box. Shaunice Time Lap (seconds) 1 68 seconds per lap 2 65 3 65 64 5 67 6 70 Joshua determined his average pace to be 63 seconds per lap.

Answer 1

To find the difference between the average pace per lap for Shaunice and Joshua, add up Shaunice's times for the 6 laps she ran, divide by 6 to find her average pace per lap, and subtract Joshua's average pace per lap from Shaunice's.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between the average pace per lap for Shaunice and Joshua, we first need to calculate the average pace for Shaunice and Joshua. For Shaunice, we add up the times for the 6 laps she ran: 68 + 65 + 65 + 64 + 67 + 70 = 399 seconds. Then, we divide this total by 6 to find the average pace per lap for Shaunice: 399 / 6 = 66.5 seconds per lap. For Joshua, we already know his average pace per lap is 63 seconds. To find the difference, we subtract Joshua's average pace from Shaunice's average pace: 66.5 - 63 = 3.5 seconds per lap.

Answer 2

From the question

Joshua average pace = 63 seconds per lap

Shaunice

`\begin{gathered} \text{Average pace per lap = }\frac{68\text{ + 65 + 65 + 64 + 67 + 70}}{6} \\ =\text{ }(399)/(6) \\ =\text{ 66.5} \end{gathered}`

The difference between the average pace per lap for Shaunice and the average pace per lap for Joshua = 66.5 - 63

= 3.5
