Question

Amy jogs 1/3 of a mile in 1/15 of an hour, while john takes 1/30 of an hour to jog 1/5 of a mile. If they continue at this rate, who would jog farther in one hour and by how much.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

Amy jogs 1/3 of a mile in 1/15 of an hour and john takes 1/30 of an hour to jog 1/5 of a mile.

Speed of Amy,

`v_1=((1)/(3)\ miles )/((1)/(15)\ h)=5\ mph`

Speed of John,

`v_2=((1)/(5)\ miles )/((1)/(30)\ h)=6\ mph`

John will jog farther in one hour as he is moving with faster speed. The speed of John is 1 mph more than Amy.
