Answer 2

Ruben and Claire are training to run a marathon in the spring. Ruben runs 16 miles over a 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 or "2" for no.

Answer 3

To determine if Ruben and Claire are running at the same rate of speed, we need to calculate their average speed.

Ruben's average speed is 16 miles / 4 days = 4 miles per day.
Claire's average speed is 12 miles / 3 days = 4 miles per day.

Since Ruben and Claire have the same average speed of 4 miles per day, the answer is "1" for yes, they are running at the same rate of speed.
