To compare who ran faster, we need to find the average speed of each runner.
Keshia's average speed can be found by dividing the distance she ran (10 1/2 miles) by the time it took her (1 3/4 hours).
10 1/2 miles ÷ 1 3/4 hours = 6 miles per hour.
Mateo's average speed can be found by dividing the distance he ran (12 miles) by the time it took him (2 2/5 hours).
12 miles ÷ 2 2/5 hours = 5 miles per hour.
Therefore, Keshia ran faster with an average speed of 6 miles per hour.
Keshia ran 10 1/2 miles in 1 3/4 hours. Mateo ran 12 miles in 2 2/5 hours. who ran faster
