WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! HELP PLEASE!
Ashley runs 5/8 miles in 4 minutes 30 seconds. Josh runs 3/4 miles in 5 minutes 15 seconds. Explain how you can tell who is the faster runner.
Please explain!

Ashley is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it is easiest to convert into decimals.

Ashley ran 5/8 mile in 4 1/2 minutes.

5/8  is 0.625

Josh ran 3/4 mile in 5 minutes 15 seconds.

3/4 is 0.75

It looks like Josh won because his number is closer to 100, but, Ashley ran 0.625 mile faster than he ran 0.75 mile.

But then again, Josh ran more than her. Who won? Here is the answer.

Josh can run 0.75 mile in 5 minutes 15 seconds.

Ashley can run 0.625 miles in 4 1/2 minutes.

(4 + 1/2) ÷ 0.625 = 7.2

(5 + .15)  ÷ 0.75 = 6.8

7.2 is more & closer to 10.

So to sum it up, Ashley is faster.
