Who has the faster speed? slowest? show your work. Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Convert all to feet/sec:
Cole: 5 MPH (5280 ft/mi)(1 hr/3600 sec)=7.33 ft/sec
Susan: 9 ft/sec (given)
Brandon: 117 yds/min (3 ft/yd)(1min/60 sec)=5.85 ft/sec
Susan is fastest (9 ft/sec) followed by Cole (7.33 ft/sec) and then Brandon (5.85 ft/sec)
