    Students measured their speed in feet per second and converted it to miles per hour. They recorded their individual speeds and answered questions about the fastest student, the difference between the top two speeds, whether speeds would change with a longer distance, the class average speed, and how the class average compares to the average human speed of 15 mph.

    Calculating Class Speeds

    Name_____________________________
    Math 8

    How fast are we?


    Students will calculate their speed, in miles per hour, based on measurements taken
    in feet per second. Use the sheet to record the speed of everyone in the class and
    then answer the questions below.
    Student

    Speed (feet per second) (with conversion work)

    Speed (miles per hour)

    1.

    Who was the fastest student in the class? What was their rate?

    2.

    What was the difference in speed of the fastest student to the second fastest student?

    3.

    4.
    5.

    6.

    Do you think these numbers would have changed if the distance would have been longer?
    Why?
    What was the average rate of speed for the class?
    The average human speed is about 15 mph at a steady run. How does the class average
    compare to this number?

    What is the world record for fastest human on record? How fast was it?
