Debbie runs 9 feet per second: 9 ft/s

Jessica runs 1 mile  in 440 seconds: 414/50 ft/s = 207/25 ft/s = 8 7/25 ft/s

jesssica runs 131 feet in 10 seconds: since 1 mile = 5280 ft we have 1/470 mi/s = 5280/470 ft/s = 528/47 ft/s = 11 11/47 ft/s

ron runs 603 feet in 1 minute: 547 ft/min = 603/60 ft/s = 201/20 ft/s = 10 1/20 ft/s

Since:

11 11/47 > 10 1/20 > 9 > 8 7/25

Emily runs the fastest.
