Question

John and Jessica have a biking race. John rides at a constant speed of 10 miles per hour. Jessica rides at a constant speed of 600 feet per minute. Who finishes first?

Answer 1

John and Jessica finish the biking race at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine who finishes first in the biking race between John and Jessica, we need to compare their speeds. John rides at a constant speed of 10 miles per hour, while Jessica rides at a constant speed of 600 feet per minute. To compare their speeds, we need to convert Jessica's speed to miles per hour. There are 5280 feet in a mile and 60 minutes in an hour, so we can calculate that Jessica's speed is 10 miles per hour as well. Therefore, both John and Jessica finish the race at the same time.
