Respuesta :

If Kyle ran a distance of 6 laps in 5 minutes and 30 seconds then the average speed of Kyle is 0.27 miles per hour.

Given that the school track is 1/4 of a mile, Kyle ran a distance of 6 laps in 5 minutes and 30 seconds.

We are required to find the average speed of Kyle in mles per minute.

Distance of 1 lap=0.25 mile.

Distance of 6 laps=0.25*6=1.50 miles.

Time=5 minutes and 30 seconds

1 minute=60 seconds

30 seconds=30/60=0.5 minutes

Time=5+0.5=5.5 minutes

Speed is basically the distance covered by someone in a particular time.

Speed=Distance/time

=1.50/5.5

=0.27 miles per minute

Hence if Kyle ran a distance of 6 laps in 5 minutes and 30 seconds then the average speed of Kyle is 0.27 miles per hour.
