Question

Give an example of an equivalent ratio to 2:15.(1 point)

Answer 1

Ruben and Claire are training to run a marathon in the spring. Ruben runs 16 miles over a 4-day period. Claire runs 12 miles over a 3-day period. Are they running at the same rate of speed? Respond "1" for yes or "2" for no.(1 point)

Answer 2

An equivalent ratio to 2:15 is 4:30.

Answer 3

To determine if Ruben and Claire are running at the same rate of speed, we need to compare their distances per day.

Ruben runs 16 miles over 4 days, so his distance per day would be 16/4 = 4 miles per day.

Claire runs 12 miles over 3 days, so her distance per day would be 12/3 = 4 miles per day as well.

Since both Ruben and Claire are running the same distance per day (4 miles), their rates of speed are the same.

Therefore, the answer is "1" for yes.
