Respuesta :

Given the data above, Kellie's speed is 2/15 mi/min and Ashley's is 1/8 mi/min. The false statement among the choices is letter c which states that Ashley ran 12 mi. in 90 min. Based on Ashley's data, she ran only 0.125 mi per minute. This means that in 90 minutes, she ran only 11.25 miles. Therefore, the answer is letter c.
