Question

Write a function called mul_time that takes a Time_Elapsed object and a number and returns a new Time_Elapsed object that contains the product of the original object and the number. Then use mul_time to write a function that takes a Time_Elapsed object that represents the finishing time in a race, and a number that represents the distance, and returns a Time object that represents the pace (time per mile). The function should return a nicely formatted pace in hour, minutes and second per mile

Answer 1

# Write a function called mul_time that takes a Time object and a number and

# returns a new Time object that contains the product of the original Time and

# the number.

# Then use mul_time to write a function that takes a Time object that

# represents the finishing time in a race, and a number that represents the

# distance, and returns a Time object that represents the average pace (time

# per mile).
