Answer:
Ellen ran fast.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given table shows the time it took two athletes to run different races.
Ellen ran the distance in 28 seconds = 200 meters
Lindsay ran the distance in 60 seconds = 400 meters
Now we will calculate the speed per second of each athlete.
[tex]Speed=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Speed of Ellen}=\frac{200}{28}[/tex] ≈ 7.143 meter/second
[tex]\text{Speed of Lindsay}=\frac{400}{60}[/tex] ≈ 6.67 meter/second
In one second Ellen ran 7.143 meters while Lindsay ran 6.67 meters.
Therefore, Ellen ran faster than Lindsay.
