Question

At an important meet, Hassan won the men's 400 meters in 47.36 seconds. Hassan ran an average rate of__ meters per minnearest hundredth

Answer 1

506.78 meters per min

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = 400 m

time = 47.36 seconds

The result is meant to be in meters/min

We need to convert the seconds to minute:

60 seconds = 1 min

47.36 seconds = 47.36/60 = 0.7893

The average rate will be distance divided by time

`\begin{gathered} \text{Average rate =}(400)/(0.7893) \\ \text{Average rate =}(400)/(0.7893)\text{ = }506.7782 \\ \\ \text{Average rate = }506.78\text{ meters per min (nearest hundredth)} \end{gathered}`
