Answer:

Juanita's cat is faster because it can run more blocks in a second

Explanation:

Take the number of blocks and divide by the number of seconds

Jim:

4 blocks/ 15 seconds

.26666.... block per second

Juanita

3 blocks / 11 seconds

.2727...... blocks per second

Juanita's cat is faster because it can run more blocks in a second
