Carlos and Diego are racing around the block. Carlos runs around the entire block in 3 minutes. Diego runs around half the block in 2.5 minutes and then is tripped by a dog and can't finish. Assuming he kept up the same speed the entire race, what would've been the average time in seconds for the racers?
How many minutes would it take to run around half the block? ** If he finished the race, it would've taken 5 minutes because 2.5 x 2 = <<2.5*2=5>>5
How many minutes would it take to run around the entire block? ** Their total time would've been 8 minutes because 3 + 5 = <<3+5=8>>8
How many minutes would the average be? ** The average would've been 4 minutes because 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4
How many seconds would the average be? ** The average time in seconds would've been 240 because 4 x 60 = <<4*60=240>>240
