Question

an athlete completes one lap in 2/3 of a minute. if he runs at the same rate, how long will he take to coplete two whole number and a half laps?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the time taken to complete two whole number and a half laps is

1 ²/₃ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

time taken to complete 1 lap, = 2/3 minutes

The time taken to complete 2 and 1/2 laps is calculated as follows;

$Time \ taken= \frac{2}{3 } \frac{\min}{lap} \ \times \ 2\frac{1}{2} laps\\\\Time \ taken = \frac{2}{3} \frac{\min}{lap} \ \times \ \frac{5 }{2} laps= \frac{5 }{3} \min = 1\frac{2}{3} \min$

Therefore, the time taken to complete two whole number and a half laps is

1 ²/₃ min
