Hello!

Answer:

Jessiah is faster than Malik because 17.33 > 13.33.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, we will calculate the average speed of each of them, using the formula:

A_(s) = Δ
(s)/(t)

Let's calculate each average velocity by replacing the values:

Jessiah:
$A^s^{}=(624)/(36) =(312)/(18) =(156)/(9) =(52)/(3)$ ≈
17.33~feet/second

Malik:
$A^s^{}=(720)/(54) =(360)/(27) =(120)/(9) =(40)/(3)$ ≈
13.33~feet/second

Hope this helps!
