B. Last week, she walked a greater distance
C. This week, she walked at a faster pace.
D. Last week, she walked at a faster pace
Answer
OPTION B is correct
B)Last week, she walked a greater distance
Step-by-step explanation:
We were told Rosemary walks each week for exercise.
From the question,
✓d represented the distance walked
✓h represent the number of hours spent walking.
A)Last week: she walked 18 miles in 6 hours
Then, if she walks 18 miles in 6 hours, we can be expressed as (18miles/6hour)
= 3 miles per hour
B)This week: d = 2.5h
This implies that she she walked 2.5 miles per hour this week since the distance is expressed in miles and time in hours.
So we can conclude that last week she walked 3 miles per hour which is more greater than 2.5 miles per hour which she walks this week.
Therefore, OPTION B is correct, (Last week, she walked a greater distance)
