Question

Sue And Juanita Were Biking On The Track Around Their Town Park. Sue Started First. When She Had Biked 9 Laps, Juanita Had Biked 3 Laps. When Juanita Had completed 12 laps, Sue had completed 30 laps. did both rates remain steady? PLSS HELP

Answer 1

No. Both rates did not remain steady.

Explanation:

• When Sue had biked 9 laps, Juanita had biked 3 laps. This means that Juanita's rate is 3 laps for every 9 laps Sue bikes.
• When Juanita had completed 12 laps, Sue had completed 30 laps. This implies that Sue's rate is 30 laps for every 12 laps Juanita bikes.

For Sue: 30 laps / 12 laps = 2.5

For Juanita: 3 laps / 9 laps = 0.33

The ratios are not equal, indicating that the rates are not steady.
