Given the distance covered and the time elapsed, Ryashkina's average walking rate is approximately 3.97 meters per second.
What was Ryashkina's average walking rate?
Rate or speed is expressed as distance walked or traveled per unit time.
R = s/t
Given the data in the question;
- Distance covered s = 10,000m
- Time elapsed t = 41 minutes 56.23 seconds
- Rate r = ?
First convert 41 minutes to seconds.
⇒ 41min = ( 41 × 60 )s = 2460sec
Now, Elapsed time t = 2460s + 56.23s = 2516.23 second
Next, we determine the rate.
R = s / t
R = 10000m / 2516.23 s
R = 3.97m/s
Given the distance covered and the time elapsed, Ryashkina's average walking rate is approximately 3.97 meters per second.
