A runner ran 2/3 of a 5 kilometer race in 21 minutes. They ran the entire race at a constant speed.

a. How long did it take to run the entire race?

b. How many minutes did it take to run 1 kilometer?

Respuesta :

Answer:

it take 31.53 minutes to run the entire race

it take 6.3 minutes to run the 1 km

Step-by-step explanation:

A runner ran 2/3 of a 5 kilometer race in 21 minutes. They ran the entire race at a constant speed.

[tex]\frac{2}{3} \cdot 5= \frac{10}{3}[/tex]

3.33 km is covered in 21 minutes

So 5 km is covered in [tex]\frac{5 \cdot 21}{3.33}=31.53[/tex]minutes

it take 31.53 minutes to run the entire race

[tex] \frac{10}{3}[/tex] km is covered in 21 minutes

1 km is covered in [tex]\frac{21}{\frac{10}{3} } =6.3[/tex]

It takes to run the entire race is 31 minutes and 30 seconds and it takes to run 1 kilometer is 6 minutes and 18 seconds.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

[tex]\rm speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}[/tex]

A runner ran 2/3 of a 5 kilometers race in 21 minutes. They ran the entire race at a constant speed.

2/3 of 5 km is given as x

[tex]x = \dfrac{2}{3}* 5 = \dfrac{10}{3}[/tex]

Then the speed will be

[tex]\rm speed = \dfrac{\frac{10}{3}}{21} = \dfrac{10}{3*21} = \dfrac{10}{63}[/tex]

a. It takes to run the entire race will be

[tex]\rm Time = \dfrac{5}{ \frac{10}{63}} = \dfrac{63* 5 }{10} =31.5[/tex]

It takes to run the entire race is 31 minutes and 30 seconds.

B.  It takes to run 1 kilometer will be

[tex]\rm Time = \dfrac{1}{ \frac{10}{63}} = \dfrac{63* 1}{10} = 6.3[/tex]

It takes to run 1 kilometer is 6 minutes and 18 seconds.
