Who was moving faster? Explain your reasoning.
How far did each person move in 1 second? If you get stuck, consider drawing double number line diagrams to represent the situations.
Use your data from the previous activity to find how far you could travel in 10 seconds at your quicker speed.
Han ran 100 meters in 20 seconds at a constant speed. Is this speed faster, slower, or the same as Lin’s? Diego’s? Student B’s?

Answer 1

diego was moving faster

lin ran 4 meters in 1 second
diego ran 5.5 meters in 1 second

han ran faster than lin and slower than diego

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego is moving faster because 40/10=4 and 55/10=5.5, 5.5>4.

Diego ran 5.5 meters per second and Lin ran 4 meters per second.

Han ran 5 meters. 100/20= 5 meters per second. He ran slower than Diego but faster than Lin.

Hope this helps!
