Answer:

a) 15 minutes

b) 200 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Steve runs 160m per minute

Therefore, divide the total distance by 160 to find the time he took to run:

2400 ÷ 160 = 15 minutes

b) If he wants to take 3 minutes less to run it, then the new run time:

15 - 3 = 12 minutes

To calculate the new speed, divide distance by time:

2400 ÷ 12 = 200 m/min

Answer:

a. Find the time he take to run 2400m

v=d/t

t=d/v

where d=2400m and v=160m/min

t=2400/160

t=15min

He take 15min to run 2400m.

b. Find the speed he must run

v=d/t

where d=2400 and t=15-3=12min

v=2400/12

v=200m/min

He must run at 200m/min.
