Respuesta :
Maxwell runs faster than Hayley
In order to determine who runs faster, the average speed has to be determined
Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time travelled.
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
Hayley's average speed = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x 6 = [tex]\frac{9}{2} = 4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles / hour
Maxwell's average speed = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{2}{15}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] = 5 miles / hour
Maxwell runs faster because he has a higher average speed when compared with Hayley
