Question

a track team has 4 runners on a relay team. if each runner happens to take exactly 45.48seconds to complete her leg of the relay, what is the total time to run the relay?

Answer 1

Let:

T = Total time to run the relay

n = Number of runners

t = Individual time of each runner

So, we can find the total time using the following equation:

$\begin{gathered} T=n\cdot t \\ where \\ n=4 \\ t=45.48 \\ T=4\times45.48=181.92s \end{gathered}$
