Ms. Assis
1) The way to find out who's faster, is to find their unit rates.
2) So, assuming their speed was at a constant rate, throughout the track we can write:
Chen hours
5 miles ------------------2
1 -------------------x
Cross Multiplying those ratios:
5x = 2 Divide both sides by 5
x=2/5
x=0.4 miles per hour
Assis
miles hours
6.3 ----------------- 3
1 -------------------- y
3 =6.3y Divide both sides by 6.3
y=0.47 miles per hour
3) Comparing those unit rates as
0.47 > 0.4
Then we can say that Ms. Assis runs faster than Ms. Chen
