What is the average speed in kilometers per hours of the sprinter?

A sprinter set a high school record in track and field, running 200.0 m in 21.3 s. What is the average speed of the sprinter in kilometers per hour|||200m is 0.2km (divide by 1000)


21.3s is .0059 hours (there are 3600 seconds in an hour so divide by 3600)





average speed=vavg=d/t=0.2/.0059=33.9km/hour
