To calculate the average speed, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}
\]
In this case, Obi runs a distance of 400 meters in 40 seconds. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{400 \, \text{m}}{40 \, \text{s}} = 10 \, \text{m/s}
\]
So, Obi's average speed is **10 meters per second**.
