To find out who runs faster, we need to calculate the speed of each runner in miles per hour (mph).
1. **Maura's speed:**
Maura runs 5 miles in 1.25 hours.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{5 \text{ miles}}{1.25 \text{ hours}} = 4 \text{ mph}
\]
2. **Ave's speed:**
Ave runs 3 miles in 50 minutes, which is 0.83 hours.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{3 \text{ miles}}{0.83 \text{ hours}} \approx 3.61 \text{ mph}
\]
Now we compare their speeds:
- Maura's speed is 4 mph.
- Ave's speed is approximately 3.61 mph.
Thus, **Maura runs faster** than Ave.
1. **Maura's speed:**
Maura runs 5 miles in 1.25 hours.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{5 \text{ miles}}{1.25 \text{ hours}} = 4 \text{ mph}
\]
2. **Ave's speed:**
Ave runs 3 miles in 50 minutes, which is 0.83 hours.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{3 \text{ miles}}{0.83 \text{ hours}} \approx 3.61 \text{ mph}
\]
Now we compare their speeds:
- Maura's speed is 4 mph.
- Ave's speed is approximately 3.61 mph.
Thus, **Maura runs faster** than Ave.
