Question

Cindy runs 2 kilometers every morning. She takes 2 minutes for the first 250 meters 4 minutes for the next 1000 meters 1 minute for the next 350 meters and 3 minutes for the rest. Cindy's average speed for the entire run is meters per minute

Answer 1

The equation for discovering average speed is :

a = b ÷ c

Meaning that,

a = 2000 m ÷ (2 min + 4 min + 1 min + 3 min)

a = 200 m/min

a=average speed, b=total distance travelled, c=total time taken
