Question

Michael ran 655 feet in 19 seconds jasmine ran 1 mile in 4 minutes and 24 seconds in miles per hour and to the nearest tenth how much faster did michael run than jasmine

Answer 1

Answer:

25 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert miles to feet

First, we need to convert the miles to feet keeping in mind that:

1 mile = 5,280 feet

655 ft 19 sec

5,280 ft 4 min 24 sec

Step 2: Divide the distance by the time to find the unit rate

3,447 feet per minute

1,245 feet per minute

Step 3: Convert minutes to hours

206,820 feet per hour

74,700 feet per hour

Step 4: Convert feet to miles

39.17 miles per hour

14.15 miles per hour

To find how much faster Michael ran, we need one more step.

Step 5: Subtract smaller amount from larger amount

39.17 - 14.15 = 25

I'm always happy to help :)
