Mason and Dallas are in a canoe race Mason paddle 7/8 mile and 1/4 of an hour Dallas paddles 9/5 miles and 1/3 of an hour who paddles faster and what is speed in miles per hour and what is Dallas’s speed in miles per hour

Answer 1

To determine who paddles faster, we need to calculate the speed of each paddler in miles per hour.

For Mason:
Distance = 7/8 mile
Time = 1/4 hour

Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = (7/8) / (1/4)
Speed = (7/8) * (4/1)
Speed = 7/2 = 3.5 miles per hour

For Dallas:
Distance = 9/5 mile
Time = 1/3 hour

Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = (9/5) / (1/3)
Speed = (9/5) * (3/1)
Speed = 27/5 = 5.4 miles per hour

Therefore, Dallas paddles faster with a speed of 5.4 miles per hour, while Mason paddles at a speed of 3.5 miles per hour.
