Answer:

Frank

Explanation:

First let's start by calculating the speed of each runner.

Let's use feet per second

Frank's speed is already given in feet per second: 14 feet/second

We are given that Jake runs 382 feet in 38 seconds. To bring this down to feet/second we need to divide both numbers by 38.

382/38=10.05 feet/second (about)

We are given that Will runs 1 mile in 394 seconds. 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet. Now we divide both numbers by 394 to bring it down to feet/second.

5280/394=13.401 feet/second (about)

We are given that Ron runs 555 feet in 1 minute. 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds. Now we divide both numbers by 60 to bring it down to feet/second.

555/60=9.25 feet/second

After comparing all the speeds, we can conclude that Frank runs the fastest
