Frodo runs a 250 meter course in 50 seconds.Gandalf runs a 300 meter course in 60 seconds. Samwise runs a 900 meter course in 180 seconds. Which fellow is the fastest?
Divide all the distances by their times, speed = distance/time. 250/50 = 5m/s 300/60 = 5m/s 900/180 = 5m/s It's a trick question, as none of them ran faster than the others.
