Mia ran 10 laps in 6 minutes. Shawna ran 5 laps in 4 minutes. Which person ran at a faster rate? Use mathematics to justify your answer.

mia

Step-by-step explanation:

mia: 10/6 per minute

shawn: 5/4 per minute

common denominator is 12, multiply by 2 and 3

20/12 lap per minute mia

15/12 laps per minute shawn

20 > 15

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
