How many minutes is 1 hour 18 minutes and 27?
After you figure that out, divide that amount by how long the marathon is.
To find the average speed of the record winner of the wheelchair division in the Boston Marathon, we need to divide the total distance by the time taken.
1. Convert 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 27 seconds into seconds:
1 hour = 60 minutes = 60 * 60 seconds = 3600 seconds
18 minutes = 18 * 60 seconds = 1080 seconds
27 seconds = 27 seconds
Total time = 3600 + 1080 + 27 = 4707 seconds
2. Now, divide the total distance (26.2 miles) by the total time (4707 seconds) to calculate the average speed.
Average speed = Distance / Time
Since the average speed is typically measured in miles per hour, we need to convert seconds to hours:
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Total time in hours = 4707 seconds / 3600 seconds per hour ≈ 1.30 hours
Average speed = 26.2 miles / 1.30 hours ≈ 20.15 miles per hour
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the average speed of the record winner of the wheelchair division is approximately 20.15 miles per hour.
