Answer:

To find the time, we can use the formula:

time = distance ÷ speed

In this case, the distance is 1,765 meters and the speed is 441.25 meters per minute (not per day, as stated in the question). We need to convert the speed to minutes per lap:

441.25 meters/min = 7.3542 meters/sec

1 lap = 1765 meters

Now we can calculate the time:

time = 1765 meters ÷ 7.3542 meters/sec

time ≈ 240.11 seconds

Therefore, it took the runner approximately 240.11 seconds, or 4 minutes and 0.11 seconds, to complete one lap around the track at an average speed of 441.25 meters per minute.
