Answer:

Ellen ran fast.

Explanation:

The given table shows the time it took two athletes to run different races.

Ellen ran the distance in 28 seconds = 200 meters

Lindsay ran the distance in 60 seconds = 400 meters

Now we will calculate the speed per second of each athlete.


Speed=(distance)/(time)


\text{Speed of Ellen}=(200)/(28)7.143 meter/second


\text{Speed of Lindsay}=(400)/(60) ≈ 6.67 meter/second

In one second Ellen ran 7.143 meters while Lindsay ran 6.67 meters.

Therefore, Ellen ran faster than Lindsay.
