Question

Hayley and Tyler are on the cross-country team. Tyler can run 1 mile (at a
constant speed) in 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Hayley's distances and times
a training run are given by the equation y = 8x, where x represents distance
miles and y represents time in minutes. Who ran farther in 10 minutes? How
much farther?

Answer 1

The person who ran farther is Hayley.

Who ran farther?

Average speed is the total distance travelled per time.

Average speed = total distance / total time

Tyler's average speed =  1 / 8.30 seconds = 0.12 miles per minute

The distance covered by Tyler in 10 minutes = 0.12 x 10 = 1.2 miles

Distance covered by Hayley in 10 minutes : 10 = 8x

x = 10 / 8 = 1.25 miles
