Question

The average time for the three downhill runs was 49.8 seconds. If the first run took only 45.2 seconds and the second run slowed to 51.8 seconds, what was the time for the third run?

Answer 1

52.4 seconds.

Explanation:

The total time for the 3 runs = average time * 3

= 49.8 * 3

= 149.4 seconds.

The time for the third run = 149.4 - 45.2 - 51.8

= 52,4 seconds.
