Question

Some students did treadmill workouts, each one running at a constant speed. Answer the questions about their workouts. Tyler ran 4,200 meters in 30 minutes. • Kiran ran 6,300 meters in 1 hour. . Mai ran 6.3 kilometers in 45 minutes. 2. At what rate did each of them run?

Answer 1

rate of Tyler = 8.4 Km/hour

rate of Kiran = 6.3 Km/hour

rate of Mai = 8.5 Km/hour

Explanation:

Rate is the speed with which each ran

speed = total distance covered/total time taken to cover that distance

we will use unit km/hour for speed calculation

_____________________________________________________________

For Tyler

distance = 4200 m

1000 m = 1 km

4200 m = 1/1000 *4200 km = 4.2 KM

time = 30 minutes

60 mins = 1 hour

30 minutes = 1/60 *30 hour = 0.5 hours

thus,

speed/rate of Tyler = 4.2 KM/0.5 hours = 8.4 Km /hour

For Kiran

distance = 6300 m

1000 m = 1 km

6300 m = 1/1000 *6300 km = 6.3 Km

time = 1 hour

thus,

speed/rate of Kiran = 6.3KM/1 hours = 6.3Km /hour

For Mai

distance = 6.3 Km

time = 45 minutes

60 mins = 1 hour

45 minutes = 1/60 *45 hour = 0.75 hours

thus,

speed/rate of Mai = 6.3KM/0.75 hours = 8.5 Km /hour
