Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Speed of May = 250 meters per minute
Length of the track = 400 meters
2. How many minutes does it take May to complete 4 laps of the track?
Let's answer the question calculating the total distance and the time it took Mary to run around the track, this way:
Total distance = 4 * 400 = 1,600 meters
Time it takes May to run 1,600 meters = 1,600/250
Time it takes May to run 1,600 meters = 6.4 minutes
6.4 minutes = 6 minutes + 0.4 * 60 seconds = 6 minutes and 24 seconds
Time it takes May to run one lap = 6.4/4 = 1.6
1.6 minutes = 1 minute + 0.6 * 60 seconds = 1 minute and 36 seconds
