If the track is a 1.5 mile track and there are 250 laps in the race....
How many minutes per lap average must driver do to finish the race in less than 3 hours?
3 hrs = 180 minutes
To get mins/lap, divide the # of mins by the # of laps.
-------
What must the average speed be?
Total distance = 1.5*250 miles
To get mi/hr, divide the miles by the hours
