They both run equal because if you find the unit rate of both it will give you 10

Bugsy · Answer 2

Well, you would have to find both of their average rates of change to find who can run faster. If a cheetah can run 60 feet in 6 seconds, then the cheetah goes 10 feet per second. And if a gazelle can run 100 feet in 10 seconds, that would mean that the gazelle ran 10 feet per second. (You would find this by dividing.)

They both go at the same pace. Neither is faster.
