You ran 3 1/2 mi in 3/4 hr your friend ran 1 2/5 mi in 1/3hr which of you ran faster

"You" ran faster. 3 1/2 mi. turn into 3 5/10 mile. 1 2/5 mi. turn into 1 4/10 mile. 3/4 of an hour is 45 min. 1/3 of an hour is 20 min. Therefore you multiply 1 4/10 times 2 to get 2 8/10 mi. in 40 min. Since your friend needs 5 more min. to be at the same time as you, you divide 20 (1/3 of an hour) by 4. Which gives you 5 minutes. Now, take the 1 2/5 of the mile. and divide that by 4. Which according to Symbolab.com gives you 1/10. Now go back to the beginning, you ran 3 5/10 mi. in 45 minutes. Your friend ran 2 8/10 in 40 min. Now that we know 5 min. equals 1/10 miles, you can add that to your friend. which means she/he ran 2 9/10 mi. in 45 min. In conclusion, you ran farther that your friend in 45 min. "You" ran faster. (:
