Answer:

Diane is faster since her speed is higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find each speed in yards per second.

Tom:

25 yards / 4 seconds = 6.25 yards/second

Diane:

20 yards / 3 seconds = 6.67 yards/second

Diane's speed is higher, 6.67 yd/s vs 6.25 yd/s, so Diane is faster.

Answer: Diane is faster since her speed is higher.
