Ruben and Claire are training to run a marathon in the spring. Ruben runs 16 miles over s 4-day period. Claire runs 12 miles over a 3-day period. Are they running at the same rate of speed? respond "1" for yes and "2" for no

Answer 1

To determine if Ruben and Claire are running at the same rate, we can calculate their average daily running distances.

Ruben runs 16 miles over 4 days:

• Average distance per day for Ruben = 16 miles / 4 days = 4 miles per day.

Claire runs 12 miles over 3 days:

• Average distance per day for Claire = 12 miles / 3 days = 4 miles per day.

Since both are running 4 miles per day, they are running at the same rate.

So, the answer is "1".
