Sagot :

Answer:

285 min

275 min

chi

tie

Step-by-step explanation:

swim - 1.5 km

bicycle ride - 40 km

run - 10 km

1) Alexandra

swim time = distance / velocity = 1.5 / 5 = 0.3 hr = 18 min

transition 1 time = 4 min

cycling time = distance / velocity = 40 / 15 = 2.6666667 hr = 160 min

transition 2 time = 3 min

run time = distance / velocity = 10 / 6 = 1.6666667 hr = 100 min

so total time to complete the triathlon is

= 18 + 4 +160 + 3 +100

= 285 min = 4.75 hrs

2) Chi

swim time = distance / velocity = 1.5 / 6 = 0.25 hr = 15 min

transition 1 time = 5 min

cycling time = distance / velocity = 40 / 15 = 2.6666667 hr = 160 min

transition 2 time = 5 min

run time = distance / velocity = 10 / 7.5 = 1.3333333 hr = 80 min

got flat tire that took 10 min to fix

so total time to complete the triathlon is

= 15 + 5 + 160 + 5 + 80 + 10

= 275 min

3) Alexandra won the race by 10 min

4)even though chi got flat tire , chi still won the race by 10 min,

if it took 20min to fix flat tire both their times would be 285 min and it would have been a tie.
