Q. Linda goes for a run every day after school, but she likes to make some workouts easier than others. On Monday, Linda ran 3.53.5 miles in 3535 minutes. On Tuesday, she ran 33 miles in 4040 minutes. On which day did Linda run at a faster pace?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Monday\newline(B)Tuesday
  1. Calculate Pace Monday: Calculate Linda's running pace on Monday.\newlinePace =distancetime= \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}\newline=3.5 miles35 minutes= \frac{3.5 \text{ miles}}{35 \text{ minutes}}\newline=0.1 miles per minute= 0.1 \text{ miles per minute}
  2. Calculate Pace Tuesday: Calculate Linda's running pace on Tuesday.\newlinePace =distancetime= \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}\newline=3 miles40 minutes= \frac{3 \text{ miles}}{40 \text{ minutes}}\newline=0.075 miles per minute= 0.075 \text{ miles per minute}
  3. Compare Running Paces: Compare the paces to determine on which day Linda ran faster.\newlineMonday's pace = 0.10.1 miles per minute\newlineTuesday's pace = 0.0750.075 miles per minute\newlineSince 0.1 > 0.075, Monday's pace is faster.
