? will run ? miles farther than ? in 1 hour.

Respuesta :

Dennis will run 9 miles in 1 hour. Cindy will run 12 miles in one hour. Cindy will run 3 miles farther than Dennis in 1 hour.

Answer:

Dennis ran miles in 20 minutes = 3

Dennis ran miles in 1 minutes = [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

Dennis ran miles in 60 minutes = [tex]\frac{3}{20} \times 60[/tex]

                                                    = [tex]9[/tex]

60 minutes = 1 hour

So, Dennis ran 9 miles in 1 hour

Cindy ran miles in 30 minutes = 6

Cindy ran miles in 1 minutes = [tex]\frac{6}{30}[/tex]

Cindy ran miles in 60 minutes = [tex]\frac{6}{30} \times 60[/tex]

                                                    = [tex]12[/tex]

So, Cindy ran 12 miles in 1 hour

Difference in distance traveled in 1 hour = 12 miles - 9 miles = 3 miles

Hence Cindy ran 3 miles farther than Dennis in 1 hour
