Answer:
Javier walks more steps than ebony given the same minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Javier records a walk of 6000 steps in 50 minutes.
Ebony describes her step rate with the equation y=118x
Where,
y = number of steps
x = number of minutes she walks
Javier and Ebony each walk a total of 5 hours. Who walks more steps?
5 hours = 5 × 60 minutes
= 300 minutes
Javier records a walk of 6000 steps in 50 minutes.
6000 : 50 minutes = x : 300 minutes
6000/50 = x / 300
Cross product
6000 * 300 = 50 * x
1,800,000 = 50x
x = 1,800,000 / 50
= 36,000
x = 36,000
Javier walks 36,000 steps
Ebony describes her step rate with the equation y = 118x
x = 300 minutes
y = 118(300)
= 35,400
y = 35,400
Ebony walks 35,400 steps
Therefore,
Javier walks more steps than ebony given the same minutes
