Answer:

Average speed during the race = 357.14 meter/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance cover in race = 5 km = 5,000 meter

Time taken by athlete = 14 min

Find:

Average speed during the race

Computation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Average speed during the race = Distance cover in race / Time taken by athlete

Average speed during the race = 5,000 / 14

Average speed during the race = 357.14 meter/min
