Question 1092017
During a track meet one athlete ran 1 mile in five minutes and another athlete ran 5000 m in 280 seconds the two runners use different units to describe their races so how can you compare them? 
:
We can change the first runner into meters per second (1 mi = 1609.35 meters)
{{{((1609.35))/((5*60))}}} = 5.3645 meters/sec
The second runner
{{{5000/280}}} = 17.857 meters/sec
