Question

Juliette won her 400m race in a time of 1:01.71. If she ran the 1500m at the same rate,

approximately how fast would she run the race?

Answer 1

230.77 seconds or about 3.85 minutes (2 minutes 50.4 seconds)

Explanation:

First I will convert the minutes into seconds to make this a little easier.

1:01.71 would just be 61.71 seconds

400/61.71 is her speed for the first race. (speed is distance/time)

That is approximately 6.5 meters per second

time is distance/speed

1500/6.5= 230.769...

I do not know what you need to round to, but Juliette would take 230.769 seconds to run the 1500 meter race.
