Kerry ran a 10-mile race She ran the first three miles in 21 minutes She ran the last seven miles in 63 minutes What was her average speed in the race?
Simply add your times and divide by the distance (or visa-versa).
21 minutes + 63 minutes = 84 minutes
84 minutes/10 miles = 8.4 minute miles.
Note, this is a convenient form to calculate speed for runners. However, the "standard" would be in MPH (or the metric equivalent).
(10 miles / 84 minutes)*(60 minutes/hour) = 7.14 MPH
A common fallacy might be to calculate the speed in each leg of the race and average.
3 miles in 21 minutes = 7 minute miles.
7 miles in 63 minutes = 9 minute miles.
If you average these two you get 8 minute miles WHICH IS INCORRECT.
The problem with this is that the runner ran each pace for different distances. If the distances at each pace were the same, then this would work.

How do you calculate the average of days hours and minutes over several cells?
To calculate the average of days, hours, and minutes across several cells, first convert all time values into a consistent unit, such as total minutes. This can be done by multiplying days by 1,440 (the number of minutes in a day) and hours by 60. After converting, sum all the total minutes and divide by the number of entries to find the average in minutes. Finally, convert the average back into days, hours, and minutes format as needed.
If an average of 12 minutes to finish one game how much games can they play in six hours and 30 minutes?
To find out how many games can be played in six hours and 30 minutes, first convert the time to minutes. Six hours and 30 minutes is 390 minutes. If each game takes an average of 12 minutes, divide 390 by 12, which equals 32.5. Therefore, they can finish 32 full games in that time.
What IS the average speed if you travel 3km in 15 minutes?
To find the average speed, you divide the distance by the time taken. In this case, the distance is 3 kilometers and the time is 15 minutes. First, convert 15 minutes into hours, which is 0.25 hours. Therefore, the average speed is ( \frac{3 \text{ km}}{0.25 \text{ hours}} = 12 \text{ km/h} ).
What is the average speed in kmhr for a car that travels 22 km in exactly 15 min?
To calculate the average speed, first convert the time from minutes to hours. Since 15 minutes is 0.25 hours, the average speed is calculated using the formula: speed = distance/time. Therefore, the average speed is 22 km / 0.25 hours = 88 km/h.
How many minutes in 9 mos?
To calculate the number of minutes in 9 months, we first assume an average month has about 30.44 days (considering a year has 365.25 days). Thus, 9 months would be approximately 274 days. Multiplying 274 days by 24 hours and then by 60 minutes gives about 394,560 minutes in 9 months.
