    Katie

    Step-by-step explanation:

    lets convert all the speeds to ft/1 sec

    V adam: 9ft/sec

    V noah: 164ft/14sec

    164/14=11.7142857143 = around 11.7 ft/sec

    V jake: 1 mile/412 sec

    1 mile = 5280 ft

    5280 ft/412 sec=

    5280/412=12.8155339806 = around 12.8 ft/sec

    V katie: 845ft/min

    minute=60 sec

    845ft/60sec=

    845/60=14.0833333333 = around 14.1 ft/sec

    now lets order the velocities (speeds) from least to greatest:

    V adam: 9ft/sec, V noah: 11.7 ft/sec, V jake: 12.8 ft/sec, V katie: 14.1 ft/sec

    thus, Katie is the fastest runner
