Jed took 2 free throws in 5 seconds. Alex took 4 free throws in 10 seconds. Explain, using RACE, if the two players shot free throws at the same rate.

1. The time it would take Inex to run 1 mile is 5 minutes 20 seconds

2. Great has the fastest (lowest) time

3. When running a mile Great is faster than Inex by 20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The distance Great ran in 5 minutes = 1 mile

The distance Inex ran in 1 minute and 20 seconds = A quarte mile = (1/4) mile

We note that 1 minute and 20 seconds = 4/3 minutes

Given that the time Inex ran 1/4 mile = 4/3 minutes...(1)

We have;

The time it would take Inex to run 1 mile is given as follows;

1 = (1/4) ÷ (1/4)

1 mile = ((1/4) ÷ (1/4)) mile = (1/4) mile/(1/4)

The time to run 1 mile = The time to run (1/4) mile/(1/4) = 4/3 minutes/(1/4) (by dividing both sides of equation (1) by (1/4),

4/3 minutes/(1/4) = 4 × 4/3 minutes = 16/3 minutes = minutes= 5 minutes 20 seconds

The time it would take Inex to run 1 mile = 5 minutes 20 seconds

2. Given that Great ran a one mile race in 5 minutes, and Inex ran the same one mile race in 1 minute and 20 seconds, Great has the fastest (lowest) time

3. The amount faster Great's time is faster than Inex's time to run one mile = 5 minute 20 seconds - 5 minutes = 20 seconds.
