Question

Peter participated in a 5 k race and finished the race in 17 min. A 5 k race is 5,000 m long. How would you calculate peters average speed in m/min?

Answer 1

Answer: Peters average speed in m/min is 294.1176 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter participated in a 5000m race and finished the race in 17 min.

Speed is calculated as Distance/Time

Peters average speed in m/min = Distance covered in m / Time taken in minutes

= 5000/17

= 294.1176 m/min

Therefore, Peters average speed in m/min = 294.1176 m/min

Hope it helps.

Thank you :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$294.12 m/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Peter participated in a 5k race.

Time =17 min.

5 k race represent length=5000 m

We  have to find the peters average speed in m/min.

We know that

Average speed=$\frac{Distance}{time}$

Using the formula

Average speed of Peter=$\frac{5000}{17}=294.12 m/min$

Hence, the average speed of Peter=$294.12 m/min$
