Question

Two students, Jack and Remi, were running laps around a track. They ran at constant speeds. Jack ran 2 laps in 6 minutes 10 seconds. Remi ran 3 laps in 9 minutes 6 seconds. Who ran faster, Jack or Remi?

Answer 1

Remi (but barely)

Explanation:

6 minutes & 30 seconds is 370 seconds total.

Divide that by 2, now you have 185 seconds per lap.

9 minutes & 6 seconds is 546 seconds total.

Divide that by 3, now you have 182 seconds per lap.

Remi's average lap time is 3 seconds faster than Jack's.

Hope this helped. :)
