Question

Tara ran the 1600 M event at a constant speed in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. what was her speed

Answer 1

5 m/sec or 300m / min

using speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

change 5 min 20 sec to seconds = (5 × 60) + 20 = 320 sec

speed = $\frac{1600}{320}$ = 5m / second or

speed = 60 × 5 = 300m / minute
