1. The Grand Prix Formula 1 race this weekend is in Singapore. The race consists of 61 laps around a 5.067km long track. At 225 miles per hour, how long will it take to go around once?
how many miles are there in a kilometer or vice-versa?
1: 0.621371 according to google
the track is 3.148486857 miles aroud
i know im wrong but i keep ketting 0.01399327492 hours
well that got complicated fast
it doesn't it follows proper conversion
1lap is roughly 0.84 min or 50.375789712 seconds
\[\sf \frac{5.067 km}{61 laps} \rightarrow \approx \frac{8.31 \times 10^{-2} km}{1 lap} \times \frac{1mi}{6.21 \times 10^{-1}km} \times \frac{1 hr}{225 mi} \times \frac{60min}{1hr}\approx \frac{xmin}{lap}\]
units cancel and convert properly
kilometers cancel out, miles cancel out, then the hour is converted into minutes so basically you are left with minutes per lap unit
the question is how long will it take to go around once that is hour/lap
or min/lap or sec/lap depends on what you want, but it should be time/lap
