Joe runs 8.25 times around a track in 1,119.803 seconds. If one lap around the track is 402.3 meters, which is the best estimate of the runner's average speed in meters per second (m/s)?

2.96 meters per second is the answer I'm getting. I took the total seconds and divided it by how many times he ran around the track to get his speed for lap and then I divided his lap speed by how long the track was to get his meters per second
