In a relay race, Jill runs 250 meters in 1.5 minutes. She hands the baton to John, who walks for 3 minutes at a rate of 70 meters per minute. Finally, Suzy sprints the last 100 meters in 15 seconds. What distance is traveled in this relay

Respuesta :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  560 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill's distance is given as 250 m.

John's distance can be computed as ...

  distance = speed × time = (70 m/min)(3 min) = 210 m

Suzy's distance is given as 100 m.

Then the total distance is ...

  250 m + 210 m + 100 m = 560 m

The distance traveled is 560 m in this relay.
