Cindy runs 2 kilometers every morning. She takes 2 minutes for the first 250 meters, 4 minutes for the next 1,000 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. One kilometer is the same as 1,000 meters.

2 multiply 2=4 divide by 1 and then add 250+350 then divide that by 1,000 and u should get your answer

At 250m, she has taken 2 minutes.
At 1,250m, she has been running for 6 minutes.
At 1600m, she has been running for 7 minutes, and then it takes her 3 minutes to finish,meaning it took her 10 minutes to run 2000m.

2000/10= 200.

Her average speed is 200 meters per minute.
