For a track meet, tara ran the 1,600 m event at constant speed in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. what was her speed?

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 + min (Because 1 min = 60 sec)

=

=

= min

Now we will use Distance speed formula which states,

Distance = speed time

1600 m = speed

speed =

Speed = 300 m/min

So, the speed of Tara was 300 meter/min.
