Joel ran 1500 meters in 6 minutes, 35 seconds. How many meters per second is this?

Answer 1

The question we need to answer: "How many meters per SECOND is this?"

Step 1: Convert the 6 minutes to seconds and add them to the other 35 seconds.

1. There are 60 seconds in one minute, so multiply 60 seconds x 6 minutes to find out how many seconds are in 6 minutes. 60 x 6 = 360 seconds
2. Add the other 35 seconds. 360 + 35 = 395 seconds. So Joel ran 1500 meters in 395 seconds.

Step 2: Divide the 1500 meters by the 395 seconds to find out how many meters per second Joel ran.

1. 1500/395 = 3.79746835443038
2. You can round that to the nearest tenth for an answer of 3.8 meters/second

So Joel ran 3.8 meters per second.
