To find out how long it took the runner to complete 1 lap, we can divide the total time by the number of laps.
The total time taken is 43.2 minutes and the number of laps completed is 27. So, we calculate the time per lap as follows:
\[
\text{Time per lap} = \frac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Number of laps}} = \frac{43.2 \text{ minutes}}{27 \text{ laps}}
\]
Now, performing the division:
\[
\frac{43.2}{27} \approx 1.6 \text{ minutes}
\]
Hence, the time it took to complete 1 lap is approximately 1.6 minutes.
The answer is:
