So i did it like this: divide 21/60=.35 so in .35 hours kim walked 3 mi. Divide 3/.35 to get her mph which is 8.57 mph. Now for Ted do the same thing: 42/60=.7 4.5/.7=6.43 mph. Who walked faster?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ted?

OpenStudy (b77w):

8.57mph vs. 6.43mph

OpenStudy (b77w):

Think again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (b77w):

OpenStudy (b77w):

Kim walked 8.5 miles an hour. Ted walked at 6.5 miles an hour. Although Ted walked more miles, his overall speed was slower.
