Question

The winner in a recent List Angles Marathon ran the 26 mile race in 2.23 hours. How many yards per minute did he run?

Answer 1

320 yards per minute

Explanation:

1 mile =1760 yards

So we will do 1760 multiplied by 26 which equals to

45760 yards in 2 hours and 23 minutes

There is 2 hours which means we have to do

60 x 2 = 120 and then we add 23 minutes

120 + 23 = 143

So there's 143 minutes in 2 hours and 23 minutes

Now, we have to work out how much yards per minute

he ran

So, we will have to do :

45760 divided by 143

45760/143 which equals 320

so the answer is 320 yards per minute

I hope this helped you and i hope i did the question correctly
