Every year there is a race to the top of the empire state building. In 1993 the winner got to the top in 10 minutes, 18 seconds. how many stairs did the winner go up per second, rounded to the nearest whole number
You are missing some information in order to complete this question.
To find out how many stairs the winner went up per second, we need to divide the total number of stairs climbed by the total time taken.
First, we need to determine the number of stairs in the Empire State Building. The Empire State Building has 1,860 steps in total.
Next, we need to convert the time taken to seconds. The winner took 10 minutes and 18 seconds, which is equal to 618 seconds (10 minutes * 60 seconds per minute + 18 seconds).
Finally, we divide the total number of stairs by the total time in seconds to get the number of stairs climbed per second:
Stairs climbed per second = Total number of stairs / Total time in seconds
Stairs climbed per second = 1860 / 618
Stairs climbed per second ≈ 3 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, the winner went up approximately 3 stairs per second.
