You are kayaking at a pace of 63 feet every 12 seconds. Your friend's pace is 21 feet every 2 seconds. Are you and your friend kayaking at the same pace? If not, who is faster?

Your friend is kayaking faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to approach this answer is by putting one of them in terms of the other. So that both are in terms of the same time. If you kayak 63 feet in 12 seconds how many feet do you kayak in 2 seconds? Simply divide by 6. 63/6 = 12/6. So, in 2 seconds (12/2) you kayak 10.5 feet (63/6). But your friend kayaks 21 feet in the same time... so he's going faster.
