Question

Mrs. Elizondo runs around a 400-meter track at a constant speed of 250 meter per minute. How many minutes does it take Mrs. Elizondo to complete 4 laps of the track?

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information, we are told that Mrs. Elizondo runs around a 400-meter track. If she runs 4 laps, the total meters will be:

= 400 × 4

= 1600 meters

Since she uses a constant speed of 250 meter per minute. The number if minutes taken to complete the 4 laps will be gotten by dividing 1600 by 250. This will be:

= 1600 / 250

= 6.4 minutes

= 6 minutes + (0.4 × 60 seconds).

= 6 minutes 24 seconds
