Answer:
The answer to the question is
It would take Lalelyn bout 3 hours to run the 18m miles, and it will take her
and x +y+z =18 where x, y, and z are the distannce covered swimming, running and bikinr respectifully
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question, we lisrt out the variables as follows
Swimming speed of Lakelyn = 250 yards every 5 minutes or 250×12 = 3000 yards/hour = 1.7 miles/hr
Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour
Biking speed = 12 miles/hour
The duration it will take for Lakelyn to run 18 miles is given by
Timee taken to run 18 miles t = (Distance covered)/ (Speed of Lakelyn))
or t = D/S
Substituting the known values of such as
Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour
From which we have the time taken to run 18 miles = 18 miles /(6 miles/hour) = 3 hours
should the 18 miles form part of the triathlon then, we have
and x +y+z =18
Where x, y and z are the distance covered Swimming, Running and Biking respectively
