Hi Gotcha,

During a race Ali ran the first 300 metres in 2 mins 10 secs and the last 100 metres in 30 secs. What was his average speed in m/s?

$\\\frac{300+100metres}{2min+40seconds}\\\\ =\frac{400metres}{120+40seconds}\\\\ =\frac{400metres}{160seconds}\\\\ =\frac{5metres}{2seconds}\\\\ =2.5\;m/s$
