Question Kaylee:

Keiko and Kendra are training for an international track competition. Kendra is running one lap on the outside of a circular track with a diameter of 1000 feet. Her constant rate of speed is 12 mi/h. Keiko is running one lap on the outside of a nearby circular track with a diameter of 1125 feet. She is also running at 12 mi/h. Find the time, in minutes, each runner needs to complete one lap.

Kendra is running on a track of diameter 1000 feet. What is the circumference of this track? She is running at 12 miles per hour. How long does it take her to run this distance?
