Stop leaning on the keyboard and I will tell you...
"Pace" is another way of saying "rate". You find that by dividing the distance by the time:
White rabbit: (2/5) miles / (4/7)days
= (2/5) * (7/4)
= 7/10
Brown rabbit: (3 miles) / (6 days)
= 1/2
You are nearly done now. Just compare the two answers and see which is bigger. There are a few different ways to decide this, but the easiest to understand is giving them an LCD:
1/2 = 5/10
7/10 = 7/10
5/10 < 7/10 So the white rabbit is slower than the brown rabbit.
