In this question, 10 people average running distance is 2.7miles. Then the sum of their running distance would be: 10 people * 2.7 miles/people= 27 miles.
The group then divided into 2, 4 people with 3 miles average and 6 people with unknown average. Since the people are same like the 10 people group, their total running distance would be the same. The calculation would be:
total distance = group1 * average1 + group2 * average2
27 miles= 4 people * 3 miles/people + 6 people* average2
6 people * average2 = 27 miles -12 miles = 15 miles
average2= 15 miles/6people= 2.5 miles/people
17% of 99 is 16.83. Since that's only the distance it goes in one minute we have to multiply that by 3. 16.83 × 3 = 50.49. Since the elevator is moving down then it will be negative. The answer will be -50.49 meters.
