Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To compare who ran faster, we need to find both runners' speeds.

Keshia's speed is calculated by dividing the distance she ran by the time it took her: 10 1/2 miles / 1 3/4 hours = (10.5 miles) / (1.75 hours) = 6 miles/hour.
Mateo's speed is calculated by dividing the distance he ran by the time it took him: 12 miles / 2 2/5 hours = (12 miles) / (2.4 hours) = 5 miles/hour.
Therefore, Keshia ran faster than Mateo.
