The longest human power sporting event is the tour de France cycling race in a particular year the average speed for the winner of the this race was 23.66 mph in that same year of the race was 2292 miles long how long did it take the winner to complete the race

Answer 1

The winner completed the race in 96 hours and 52 minutes.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the cycling race = 2292 miles

Average speed of the winner =
`23.66\ mph`

We need to find time required by winner to complete the race.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Time required can be calculated by dividing Total Distance from the Average speed.

framing in equation form we get;

time required by winner to complete the race =
`(2292)/(23.66) = 96.87\ hrs`

Now converting
`0.87\ hrs` into minutes we get;

`0.87* 60= 52.2\approx 52\ mins`

Hence the winner completed the race in 96 hours and 52 minutes.
