Question

homework
both paths below take robin exactly 100 seconds to walk. when walking which path did robin have the faster average speed? use the claim, evidence, reasoning format.

evidence:
reasoning:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate distance of Path 1

Add the lengths: $15 + 10+25 + 45=95$ m

Step2: Calculate distance of Path 2

Add the lengths: $25+30 + 30 = 85$ m

Step3: Recall speed formula

Speed $v=\frac{d}{t}$, where $d$ is distance and $t$ is time. Time $t = 100$ s for both paths.

Step4: Compare speeds

Since time is same ($t = 100$ s), and speed is directly - proportional to distance, the path with greater distance has higher speed. Path 1 has a greater distance.

Answer:

Robin had a faster average speed on Path 1.
