ArthurJackson can run 1,500meter in about 3 1/2minute is this?
To find out how many meters Arthur can run per minute, we need to divide the total distance he can run (1,500 meters) by the total time it takes him (3 1/2 minutes).
To convert the mixed fraction (3 1/2) into a proper fraction, we can multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (2) and then add the numerator (1). This gives us 7/2.
Next, we can convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator (2) by the whole number (3) and then adding the numerator (1). This gives us 7/2.
Now, we can divide 1,500 meters by 7/2 minutes:
1,500 ÷ (7/2)
To divide by a fraction, we need to multiply by its reciprocal:
1,500 × (2/7)
Multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator:
(1,500 × 2) ÷ 7
Multiply:
3,000 ÷ 7
Divide 3,000 by 7:
428.57 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, Arthur can run approximately 428.57 meters per minute.
