Question

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To find the average speed of the runner over the three distances, we first need to compute the total distance traveled and the total time taken.

1. **Calculate Total Distance:**
- Distance 1: 180 meters
- Distance 2: 188 meters
- Distance 3: 190 meters

Total Distance = 180 + 188 + 190 = 558 meters

2. **Calculate Total Time:**
Since the runner records these distances over three separate time periods of 30 seconds each:
- Total Time = 30 seconds + 30 seconds + 30 seconds = 90 seconds

3. **Calculate Average Speed:**
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

Average Speed = 558 meters / 90 seconds = 6.2 meters per second

The average speed of the runner is **6.2 meters per second**.
