A circular path has a diameter of 120 meters.
a person average walking speed is 4 kilometers per hour
about how many minutes will it take him to walk around the path 3 times ?
:
Find how many meter/min at 4 km/hr
%28%284%2A1000%29%29%2F60 = 662%2F3 meters/min
:
Find the distance in meters for 3 laps around the track
pi%2A120%2A3 = 1131 meters
:
Find how long to walk 1131 meters at 662%2F3 meters/min ( use 66.67 meters)
1131%2F66.67 = 16.96 ~ 17 minutes
