Question

The average speed of a runner in a 400 meter race was 8.0 meters per second how long did it take the runner to complete the race

Answer 1

If it is eight meters per second, and the total distance he has to travel is four hundred meters to complete the race, you divide the total length needed to travel by the average speed per second to see the amount of seconds required to complete the race at that speed.

8 meters per second: Speed of runner
400 meters: Total distance

400/8=50

50 seconds to complete the race at the eight of 8m/s.
