John ran 1 2 mile in 5 minutes, and Al ran 1 3 mile in 4 minutes. Which runner ran at a faster rate?

John ran at a faster rate

Step-by-step explanation:

If john runs 1/2 mile in 5 minutes, then for him to run 1 mile it would take 10 minutes because it takes john 5 minutes for every half of a mile. Now Al runs 1/3 mile in 4 minutes. If he would run 1 mile, it would take him 12 minutes because it takes him four minutes every third mile.  

1/3 : 4    =       3/3 : 12        Al

1/2 : 5    =     2/2 : 10           John

From both of the rations John ran faster

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
