Question

which rate is greater? 1&1/4 miles in 2 mins 4 secs, or 1&3/16 miles in 1 min 55 secs? explain please?

Answer 1

you have to divide the distance by the time and get the rate

Answer 2

now if you want for example the rate of miles per seconds you have to convert the time to seconds.. for example 2min 4 secs = 124 seconds

Answer 3

then 1&1/4 miles in 2 mins 4 secs will be 1.25 / 124 miles per seconds

Answer 4

now compare it with the other one
