Ron walks 0.5 mile on the track in 10 minutes. Stevie walks 0.25 mile on the track in 6 minutes. Find the unit for each walker in miles per hour. who is the faster walker?

Ron walks 0.5 mile on the track in 10 minutes.

Unit rate = 0.5 miles per 10 minutes

Solve:

=> 0.5 miles / 10 minutes = 0.05 miles per minute

Stevie walks 0.25 mile on the track in 6 minutes.

Unit rate = 0.25 miles for 6 minutes

Solve

=> 0.25 miles / 6 minutes = 0.042 miles per minutes

Who walks faster than the 2 of them?

=> 0.05 miles / m is greater than 0.042 miles per minute

Thus, Ron walks faster than Stevie
