Answer: Asley is faster than Austin.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Austin swam 1.4 laps each minute.
Asley's sister can swim 9 laps in 6 minutes.
i.e. the number of laps she can swim in each minute = [tex]\dfrac96 = 1.5[/tex]
1.5 > 1.4, i.e. Asley swim more laps than Austin in a minute.
Hence, Asley is faster than Austin.
In mintues per lap, speed of Austin = [tex]\dfrac1{1.4}=0.71\text{ minute per lap}[/tex]
Speed of Ashley = [tex]\dfrac{6}{9}=0.67\text{ minute per lap}[/tex]
Ashley took lesser time then austin per lap.
Hence, Ashley is faster than Austin.
