Question 86746: If a dirt track car is going around an oval dirt track that is 1/4 mile long, at a lap time of 13.6 seconds, what is an average speed the car is going per lap. Or what is an equation i can use to figure out the approxiamate speed of the car. Answer by Flake(45) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The speed express in terms of distance over time S = D/T
---Step#1: Calculating Speed
In this case the cart travele 1/4 miles in 13.6 sec.
So S=(0.25 miles ) / (13.6 sec)
---Step#2: Converting to MPH
In most cases speed is discribed as mph or miles-per-hour.
Solve this conversion
******Notice how the sec. and minutes cancel out and only the hour remain****
