Mason and Dallas are in a canoe race Mason paddle 7/8 mile and 1/4 of an hour Dallas paddles 9/5 miles and 1/3 of an hour who paddles faster and what is speed in miles per hour and what is Dallas’s speed in miles per hour
To determine who paddles faster, we need to calculate the speed of each paddler in miles per hour.
For Mason:
Distance = 7/8 mile
Time = 1/4 hour
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = (7/8) / (1/4)
Speed = (7/8) * (4/1)
Speed = 7/2 = 3.5 miles per hour
For Dallas:
Distance = 9/5 mile
Time = 1/3 hour
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = (9/5) / (1/3)
Speed = (9/5) * (3/1)
Speed = 27/5 = 5.4 miles per hour
Therefore, Dallas paddles faster with a speed of 5.4 miles per hour, while Mason paddles at a speed of 3.5 miles per hour.
