Answer 1

Answer:Brielle will run the half marathon race faster.Brielle will take 1 hour 44 minutes and 48 seconds, Joshua will take 2 hours 37 minutes and 12 seconds

Explanation:

10 / 1.25 = 8

8 minutes a mile

18 / 1.5 = 12

12 minutes a mile

Brielle will run the half marathon race faster.

8 x 13.1 =104.8

12 x 13.1=157.2

104.8 - 60=

44.8

60 seconds x .8= 48

Brielle will take 1 hour 44 minutes and 48 seconds

157.2 - 120 = 37.2

60 seconds x .2 = 12

Joshua will take 2 hours 37 minutes and 12 seconds
