Distance ran by Tara = 1600 m
Time taken by Tara to ran 1600 m = 5 min 20 seconds
We have to calculate the speed.
Firstly, we will convert the unit of time in one unit.
Time = 5 min 20 seconds
= 5 min +[tex] \frac{20}{60} [/tex] min (Because 1 min = 60 sec)
= [tex] 5+\frac{1}{3} [/tex]
=[tex] \frac{15+1}{3} [/tex]
=[tex] \frac{16}{3} [/tex] min
Now we will use Distance speed formula which states,
Distance = speed [tex] \times [/tex] time
1600 m = speed [tex] \times [/tex] [tex] \frac{16}{3} [/tex]
speed = [tex] \frac{1600 \times 3}{16} [/tex]
Speed = 300 m/min
So, the speed of Tara was 300 meter/min.
