Step-by-step explanation:

Given :An athlete completes 1500 m race in 3 minutes

To Find:  What is the speed of the athlete?

Solution:

Distance traveled by athlete = 1500 m

Time taken by athlete = 3 minutes = $3 \times 60 =180 seconds$

Speed of the athlete=$\frac{1500}{180}$

Speed of the athlete=$8.3 m/sec$

Hence the speed of the athlete is 8.3 sec.
