Comparing Fractions and Running Rates

The video tutorial discusses a race between Ryan and Sabrina, comparing their running rates. Ryan runs 3 miles every 17 minutes, while Sabrina runs 5 miles every 29 minutes. By finding a common point in their distance-time tables, it is determined that Ryan runs faster. The tutorial also compares fractions 9/100 and 99/1000, showing that 99/1000 is larger by using equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
