Question

The length of a jogging trail is 3528 m. A jogger wants to complete the trail within 30 min. How many meters must the jogger travel each minute?

Answer 1

Answer: dt= 117 (3/5) m

Explanation:

We have to find the distance the jogger must travel each minute. The distance covered in one minute is:

d= 3528/1800= 1.96 m

Therefore, the distance covered in one minute, or 60 seconds is:

dt= 1.96 × 60 = 117.6 m

The solution needed is, dt=588/5 = 117 (3/5) m
