Alonzo takes 12 minutes to run 6 times around a 400-meter track. assuming he runs at a constant speed, how long does he take to run 1-kilometer?

5 minutes to run 1 kilometer

Step-by-step explanation:

Alonzo takes 12 minutes to run 6 times around a 400-meter track.

6 times around a 400 m track

400 * 6 = 2400 meters

It take 12 minutes to run 2400 meters

2400 meters = 2400/1000 = 2.4km

distance = 2.4 km  and time = 12 minutes

Now we find our constant speed

2.4 = speed * 12

divide by 12 on both sides

speed = 0.2

so speed is 0.2 km per minute

Now we find out time when distance = 1km

Distance = speed * time

1 = 0.2 * t

divide by 0.2 on both sides

5 = t

So it take 5 minutes to run 1 kilometer
