Neil ran 1500 m in 6.5 min. Dario ran 400 m in 1.5 min. Whose average speed was greater? Show work
Answered by Nic
Well, first things first.
Do you know which formula you'll be using for this?

Answered by Tyler
Nope - need help the whole way - supposed to be about ratios
Answered by Nic
I'm not sure how to solve this into a ratio, but a way you could find the average speed, would go like this. First, you'd change minutes into seconds, since you are dealing with meters. then divide. How many meters per second did each person run?

thank you
Answered by Damon
1500 meters in 6.5 minutes = 1500/6.5 =230.7 meters/minute
400/1.5 = 266.7 meters/minute

Dario ran more meters per minute.
