Problem
Sofia ran 
laps around the 
-meter track at her school. For each lap, she ran the first 
meters at an average speed of 
meters per second and the remaining 
meters at an average speed of meters per second. How much time did Sofia take running the laps?
Solution
If Sofia ran the first meters of each lap at meters per second and the remaining meters of each lap at meters per second, then she took 
seconds for each lap. Because she ran laps, she took a total of 
seconds, or 
minutes and seconds. The answer is 
.
