Bella's rate is 5.5 miles / 22 minutes = 0.25 miles per minute.
Jason's rate is 0.64 miles / 2 minutes = 0.32 miles per minute.
Therefore, Jason runs at a faster rate than Bella.

The 40 pound bag is cheaper per pound.
The 40 pound bag is cheaper per pound.
The 10 pound bag is cheaper per pound.
To find which size bag is cheaper per pound, we need to calculate the price per pound for each bag.
For the 40-pound bag:
Price per pound = $30.99 / 40 pounds = $0.7748 per pound ≈ $0.77 per pound.
For the 10-pound bag:
Price per pound = $12.98 / 10 pounds = $1.298 per pound ≈ $1.30 per pound.
Therefore, the 40-pound bag is cheaper per pound than the 10-pound bag.
