Leroy Hickman · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For Mia:

distance, d = 100 yard

time, t = 2 min 33 sec = 153 s

Speed = distance / time

speed = 100 / 153 = 0.65 yard/s

For Larisa:

distance, d = 350 yard

time, t = 5 min 18 sec = 318 s

speed = 350 / 318 = 1.1 yard/s

So, the speed of Larisa is more than the speed of Mia.
