Study Notes
Calculating Walking Speed
- Herman walks 2 miles in 1 hour.
- Sydney walks 6 miles in 1 hour.
- To compare their speeds, we need to calculate their speed in miles per minute.
Herman's Speed
- Herman's speed is 2 miles per hour.
- To convert this to miles per minute, we divide by 60 minutes: 2 miles / 60 minutes = 1/30 miles per minute.
Sydney's Speed
- Sydney's speed is 6 miles per hour.
- To convert this to miles per minute, we divide by 60 minutes: 6 miles / 60 minutes = 1/10 miles per minute.
Comparing Speeds
- Sydney's speed (1/10 miles per minute) is greater than Herman's speed (1/30 miles per minute).
- Therefore, Sydney walks faster.
