Brooke runs 15 feet per second
Stephanie runs 96 feet in 7 seconds.
Ron runs 1 mile in 366 seconds.
Jake runs 627 feet in 1 minute.

Answer 1

Brooke

Explanation:

Brooke: Runs 900 feet in 60 sec

Steph: Runs 822 Feet in 60 sec

Ron: Runs 840 Feet in 60 sec

Jake: Runs 627 feet in 60 sec

___________________________________________

Brooke 15 divided by 1 equals 15

15 times 60 equals 900 (900 feet in 60 seconds)

Steph 96 divided by 7 equals 13.8

13.8 times 60 equals 822 (822 feet in 60 seconds)

Ron 5280 in a mile so, 5280 divided by 366 equals 14.4

14.4 times 60 equals 840 (840 feet in 60 seconds)

Jake 627 divided by 60 (60 secs in a min) equals 10.4 feet in 60 secs
