if someone walked 5.5 miles in 132 minutes and someone else walked 0.6 miles in 18 minutes who walked faster?
5.5/132=0.04167 miles per minute.
.6/18=0.0333 miles per minute. Or you can do this by making either their miles or their minutes equal:
132/18 X .6=4.4 miles walked in 132 minutes for the second walker. So, now you can compare like times: 5.5 miles in 132 minutes vs. 4.4 miles for the second walker in the same 132 minutes.
So, obviously the person that covered 5.5 miles in 132 minutes walked faster than the other who walked 4.4 miles in the same amount of time.
