Junnie walked for 2.5 hours at a distance of 3.2miles per hour. maurice walked for 1.8 hours at a speed of 4.1 miles per hour. a. who walked farther? b. how much farther did that person walk?

We are given speed and time for Junnie and Maurice.

We will use speed distance formula here to find the distance covered by Junnie and Maurice.

The formula is given by:

Distance covered by Junnie:

We are given speed of Junnie as 3.2 miles per hour and time taken by her is 2.5 hours.

Plugging these values to find distance:

Distance = 3.2 * 2.5 = 8 miles

Distance covered by Maurice:

We are given speed of Maurice as 4.1 miles per hour and time taken by her is 1.8 hours.

Plugging these values to find distance:

Distance = 4.1 * 1.8 = 7.38 miles

Distance covered by Maurice is 7.38 miles whereas that covered by Junnie is 8 miles.

(A) So it is clear that Junnie walked farther.

Now let us find how much farther did Junnie walked.

We can find that by finding the difference between the two distances.

Difference = Distance covered by Junnie - distance covered by Maurice

Difference = 8- 7.38 = 0.62

(B) So Junnie walked 0.62 miles farther.

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
