Question

Corrine ran 4 miles in 28 minutes yesterday and

5 1/2 miles in 32 minutes
todoy Did she run
foster today or
yesterday?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First things first, you need to find out how many minutes it took Corrine to run one mile each day. To do this, you divide 4 by 4 and 28 by 4

4 ÷ 4 = number of miles

4 ÷ 4 = 1 mile

28 ÷ 4 = number of minutes for one mile

28 ÷ 4 = 7 minutes for one mile

Next, you need to divide 5.5 by 5.5 and 32 by 5.5

5.5 ÷ 5.5 = number of miles

5.5 ÷ 5.5 = 1 mile

32 ÷ 5.5 = number of minutes for one mile

32 ÷ 5.5 = 5.81818181818

So, Corrine ran one mile in 7 minutes yesterday and ran one mile in 5.81818181818 today.

All in all, Corrine ran faster today than yesterday.

Hope this helps!
