Benji runs 5.5 miles in 22 minutes. Sammy runs 0.64 miles in two minutes. Who runs at a faster rate

Answer 1

To determine who runs at a faster rate, we need to compare the distances covered per unit of time.

Benji runs 5.5 miles in 22 minutes.
So, his running rate is 5.5 miles / 22 minutes = 0.25 miles/minute.

Sammy runs 0.64 miles in two minutes.
So, his running rate is 0.64 miles / 2 minutes = 0.32 miles/minute.

Comparing their running rates, we see that Sammy runs at a faster rate.
