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.

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} ).

3 miles in 19 minutes 30 seconds how long does it take her to run a mile?
3 Miles in 19.5 minutes (19 minutes 30 seconds) is 1 mile in 6.5 minutes (6 minutes 30 seconds). (19.5 ÷ 3 = 6.5)That is based on her average speed. It is safe to assume that she can run one mile or just even the first of 3 miles in less time, probably around 6 minutes. That is a good pace! A 5k (five kilometers) run is about 3.107 miles. A mile in 6.5 minutes is the same as 3.107 miles in 20 minutes 11.7 seconds (average speed of 9.23 MPH).The female record for a 5K is about 14 minutes 11 seconds. A very good time is still 17-20 minutes. A good beginners time is around 30 minutes.
