Answer 1

Andrea can run approximately 416.67 meters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many meters Andrea can run per minute, we need to convert her time from seconds to minutes. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so we divide her time of 7.2 seconds by 60:

7.2 seconds ÷ 60 = 0.12 minutes

Next, we find out how many meters Andrea can run in one minute by dividing the distance of 50 meters by her time in minutes:

50 meters ÷ 0.12 minutes = 416.67 meters per minute

Therefore, Andrea can run approximately 416.67 meters per minute.
