Three students are arguing over who can run the fastest.
Student A says that she can run 2/3 mile in six minutes.
Student B says that he can run 1/2 mile in four minutes.
Student C says that he can run 4/5 mile in eight minutes.
Type your answer as a number, and if necessary, use / for the fraction bar. Fractions should be expressed in lowest terms. What fraction of a mile can Student A, B and C run in one minute?

HELLLLLLLLLLLLP ASAP HONEUU BOO BOO

Answer:

Student-A:

[tex]speed=\frac{1}{9}[/tex] mile/min

Student-B:

[tex]speed=\frac{1}{8}[/tex] mile/min

Student-C:

[tex]speed=\frac{1}{10}[/tex] mile/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Student-A:

she can run 2/3 mile in six minutes

so,

total distance is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles

total time =6 min

we can use formula

speed=(total distance)/(total time)

[tex]speed=\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{6}[/tex]

[tex]speed=\frac{1}{9}[/tex] mile/min

Student-B:

she can run 1/2 mile in 4 minutes

so,

total distance is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles

total time =4 min

we can use formula

speed=(total distance)/(total time)

[tex]speed=\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{4}[/tex]

[tex]speed=\frac{1}{8}[/tex] mile/min

Student-C:

she can run 4/5 mile in 8 minutes

so,

total distance is [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] miles

total time =8 min

we can use formula

speed=(total distance)/(total time)

[tex]speed=\frac{\frac{4}{5} }{8}[/tex]

[tex]speed=\frac{1}{10}[/tex] mile/min


Answer:

Student-A:

mile/min

Student-B:

mile/min

Student-C:

mile/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Student-A:

she can run 2/3 mile in six minutes

so,

total distance is  miles

total time =6 min

we can use formula

speed=(total distance)/(total time)

mile/min

Student-B:

she can run 1/2 mile in 4 minutes

so,

total distance is  miles

total time =4 min

we can use formula

speed=(total distance)/(total time)

mile/min

Student-C:

she can run 4/5 mile in 8 minutes

so,

total distance is  miles

total time =8 min

we can use formula

speed=(total distance)/(total time)

mile/min
