Finish the work Camille started.

Mr. Kitty runs
inches per second.
So,
runs faster.

Answer 1

To find out who can run faster, we first need to convert Mr. Kitty's speed from feet per second to inches per second.

Camille started with the conversion:

\[
\frac{30 \text{ feet}}{1 \text{ second}} \times \frac{12 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ foot}}
\]

Now we can complete the calculation:

\[
30 \text{ feet/second} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 360 \text{ inches/second}
\]

Now we have the speeds of both Mr. Kitty and Mrs. Kitty:

- Mr. Kitty: 360 inches per second
- Mrs. Kitty: 385 inches per second

Now, we can determine who runs faster:

- Mr. Kitty runs 360 inches per second.
- Mrs. Kitty runs 385 inches per second.

So, **Mrs. Kitty runs faster**.
