Below is shown some information about his last three.


In Lance’s last three cycling sessions.

(i) What was the shortest distance cycled?


(ii) What was the longest time that he cycled for?


(iii) Work out Lance’s cycling time.

Answer 1

17.25 ; 1:01:13 ; 4 hours 47 minutes, 38 seconds

Explanation:

From the picture attached :

The shortest distance cycled :

17.25 < 25.80 < 27.42

Hence, shortest distance cycled is : 17.25

Shortest cycling time :

1:01:13 < 1:50:05 < 1:56:20

Hence, shortest distance cycled is : 1:01:13

Total cycling time:

1:01:13 + 1:50:05 + 1:56:20

1 + 1 + 1 = 3 hrs

01 + 50 + 56 = 107 = 107/60 = 1 hr 47 minutes

13 + 05 + 20 = 38 seconds

Total cycling time :

(3 + 1 hr 47 minutes + 38 seconds) = 4 hours 47 minutes, 38 seconds
