Joe swam at the rate of 4.5 miles per hour. Joseph swam at the rate of 1 12 of a mile per minute. Who was swimming faster? By how many miles per hour faster?

Joseph;

85.5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to put their speeds in the same unit.

Joe swam at the rate of 4.5 miles per hour.

Joseph swam at the rate of 1 1/2 of a mile per minute (1.5 miles per minute). Let us convert this to miles per hour.

To do that, multiply it by 60 minutes:

1.5 * 60 = 90 miles per hour

Joseph swam faster, because his speed is greater than Joe's speed.

The difference in their speeds is:

90 - 4.5 = 85.5 miles per hour

Joseph swam 85.5 miles per hour faster than Joe.

chase is right because he already been to the swings and he know how far it will be to get there
