Answer: it will take her 56.67 seconds or 0.945 minutes to race 2 laps
Explanation:
It takes Ella 1 minute and 25 seconds to complete the cheep beach course.
We can express this time in seconds or minutes. Expressing it in seconds,
1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore,
1 minute and 25 seconds = 60 +25 = 85 seconds
If the course is 3 laps long, that means she completed 3 laps in 85 seconds. The time it will take her to race 2 laps would be
(2 × 85)/3
= 56.67 seconds
Converting to minutes, it will be
56.7/60 = 0.945 minutes
