Yesterday noah ran 2 1/2 miles in 3/5 hour. Emily ran 3 3/4 miles in 5/6 hour. Anna ran 3 1/2 miles in 3/4 hour how fast in miles per hour did each person run? Who ran the fastest?

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the speed of each one we proceed as follows:

speed=distance/time

a] Noah's speed:

distance=2.5 miles

time=3/5 hours

speed=(2 1/2)/(3/5)

=(5/2)/(3/5)

=5/2×5/3

=25/6

=4 1/6 mi/hr

Emily's speed

distance=3 3/4 miles

time=5/6 hour

thus

speed=(3 3/4)/(5/6)

=15/4)/(5/6)

=15/4×6/5

=4 1/2 mi/hr

Anna's speed:

distance=3 1/3 miles

time=3/5

speed=(3 1/3)/(3/5

=(10/3)/(3/5)

=10/3×5/3

=5 5/9 mi/hr

Anna was the fastest

x = 12

y = 15
