1 answer

To determine who ran faster, we can calculate their speeds (miles per hour).

Keshia:

  • Distance = 10 miles
  • Time = 1 hour

Speed = Distance / Time = 10 miles / 1 hour = 10 miles per hour

Mateo:

  • Distance = 12 miles
  • Time = 2 hours

Speed = Distance / Time = 12 miles / 2 hours = 6 miles per hour

Now, comparing their speeds:

  • Keshia ran at 10 miles per hour.
  • Mateo ran at 6 miles per hour.

Therefore, Keshia ran faster at 10 miles per hour. The correct answer is:

Keshia ran faster, she ran 10 miles per hour.
