Question

Someone help please.....

A person jogs 4.0 km in 32 minutes, then 2.0 km in 22 minutes, and finally 1.0 km in 16 minutes. What is the jogger's average speed in km per minute?​

Answer 1

0.0928km/min (4dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the jogger's speed in km per minute, we just need to divide the number of km jogged by the time in minutes it took to jog that distance. This will give us the distance they jogged every minute which is their speed.

4km in 32 minutes:

4/32 = 0.125km/min

2km in 22 minutes:

2/22 = 0.091 (3dp)km/min

1km in 16 minutes:

0.0625km/min

Now to find the average speed of these 3 speeds, we just add them all together and divide by how many values there are (3 values).

Average (mean) =
`(0.125+0.091+0.0625)/(3)`

Average = 0.2785/3

Average speed of jogger = 0.0928 (4dp) km/min

Hope this helped!
