Hayley and Maxwell are jogging on a track. Hayley jogs 3/4 mile in 1/6 hour. Maxwell jogs 2/3 mile in 2/15 hour. Who is faster?

Maxwell runs faster than Hayley

In order to determine who runs faster, the average speed has to be determined

Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time travelled.

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Hayley's average speed = ÷

=   x 6 = miles / hour

Maxwell's average speed = ÷

x = 5 miles / hour

Maxwell runs faster because he has a higher average speed when compared with Hayley

16 is the absolute value

step-by-step explanation:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
