Question

For a track meet, Tara ran the 1,600 m event at a constant speed in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. What was her speed?

Answer 1

Convert Minutes to second:
5 mins 20 seconds = 5 * 60 + 20 = 320 seconds

Divide Distance (1600 mtrs) by seconds:

= 1600/320
= 5 mtr / Sec

Answer 2

Answer:

5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 1600 m

Time = 5 min 20 sec

= (5×60)+20

= 320 sec

Speed = Distance/Time

=1600/320

= 5 m/s
