Question

Determine the speed (unit rate) for each student participating in the walk. Round the
value to the hundredths place. Remember to include the zero on the left side of the
decimal.
Millie walks at a speed of miles per minute.
Sam walks at a speed of miles per minute.
Zola walks at a speed of miles per minute.
B) (1 point)
walks the fastest and walks the slowest. will arrive at the finished line first.

Answer 1

I don’t have the distances or times for Millie, Sam, and Zola — those values were left out of your message. Please paste the full problem (each student’s distance and time), and I’ll compute each speed and tell who is fastest/slowest and who reaches the finish first.

While you get that, here’s how I’ll compute it once you provide the numbers:

1. Use the unit rate formula: speed = distance ÷ time (miles per minute).
2. Compute each student’s speed.
3. Round each speed to the hundredths place and include a leading zero if needed (e.g., 0.12).
4. Compare the speeds:
- Largest speed = fastest walker.
- Smallest speed = slowest walker.
- If they all walk the same race distance, the fastest walker arrives first. If distances differ, compute each walker’s time = distance ÷ speed (or time given) and compare actual times.

Example (illustration only):
- If Millie walks 1.5 miles in 20 minutes → speed = 1.5 ÷ 20 = 0.075 → rounded = 0.08 miles/minute.
- If Sam walks 1.2 miles in 15 minutes → speed = 1.2 ÷ 15 = 0.08 → rounded = 0.08 miles/minute.
- If Zola walks 2 miles in 25 minutes → speed = 2 ÷ 25 = 0.08 → rounded = 0.08 miles/minute.

Send the actual distances and times and I’ll do the exact calculations.
