Question

. Peter runs 200 m in 30 s, while his sister

Eva runs 300 m in 36 s.
a) Who is the faster runner? Explain how
you can tell.

Answer 1

Eva is the faster runner because her speed is greater than Peter's speed (8.333 > 6.667).

Step-by-step explanation:

`Speed = (distance)/(time)`

Peter's Speed =
`(200m)/(30s) = 6.667m/s`

Eva's Speed =
`(300m)/(36s) = 8.333m/s`
