Question

Ava ran a 5 kilometer race in 40 minutes, how far will she run in 18 minutes

Answer 1

To find out how far Ava will run in 18 minutes, we need to determine her average speed during the race.

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

In this case, Ava ran a 5 kilometer race in 40 minutes. Thus,

Average speed = 5 km / 40 min

We can simplify the average speed to km per minute:

Average speed = 0.125 km/min

Now we can use this average speed to calculate how far Ava will run in 18 minutes:

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 0.125 km/min x 18 min

Distance = 2.25 kilometers

Therefore, Ava will run 2.25 kilometers in 18 minutes.
