Question

In 1985, said Aouita set the world
record for 1500m race in a time of 3 min
29.46? What was his average speed?​

Answer 1

The average speed is defined as (Total Distance)/(Total Time). Here Total Distance=1500 m and Total Time= 3 Minutes 29.46 Seconds=209.46Seconds. Hence His average speed will be (1500 m)/(209.46seconds)=7.16m/sec.
