Answer:
Code: Olivia-2.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Maggie runs 1/4 of a mile in 1.3 minutes
1/4 can also be written as 0.25
Speed = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Speed = [tex]\frac{0.25}{1.3}[/tex]
Speed of Maggie = 0.19 miles per minute
Speed of Maggie per hour = 0.19*60 = 11.40 miles per hour
Olivia runs 2/3 of a mile in 2.9 minutes
Speed = [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{2.9}=\frac{2}{2.9*3}[/tex]
Speed = [tex]\frac{2}{8.7}[/tex]
Speed of Olivia = 0.23 miles per minute
Speed of Olivia per hour = 0.23*60 = 13.80 miles per hour
Therefore,
Olivia runs faster.
Difference = 13.80 - 11.40 = 2.40 miles
Hence,
Code: Olivia-2.40
