janet runs 2640 feet in 5 minutes and dan runs 1 730 feet in 3 minutes if they keep the same places who would run father in 15 minutes
To determine who would run farther in 15 minutes, we need to calculate their respective speeds.
First, let's calculate Janet's speed. Janet runs 2640 feet in 5 minutes, so her speed can be calculated by dividing the distance by the time:
Janet's speed = 2640 feet / 5 minutes
Next, let's calculate Dan's speed. Dan runs 1730 feet in 3 minutes:
Dan's speed = 1730 feet / 3 minutes
Now that we have their speeds, we can compare them to determine who runs farther in 15 minutes. We'll need to calculate the distances run by each person in 15 minutes using their respective speeds:
Distance run by Janet in 15 minutes = Janet's speed x 15 minutes
Distance run by Dan in 15 minutes = Dan's speed x 15 minutes
Finally, we compare the distances to determine who runs farther in 15 minutes.
