Would this be a multi step equation word problem? 1. What is the average speed of the top 3 racers for the 50m freestyle swim race? The three top racers were Tom, Pete, and Jacob. Toms speed was 45.3 seconds(s), Pete’s speed was 46.25 seconds(s), and Jacob’s speed was 45.4 seconds(s).
a (average time speed) = 1/3(times the sum of the three times by 1/3 to get the average)[(45.3s(Tom’s time) + 46.25s(Pete’s time) + 45.4s (Jacob’s time)]/50m (the distance)
a = 1/3[136.95s (the sum of the three times)]/50m
a = 45.65 seconds (the sum of the three times * 1/3 to get the average) per every 50m
