Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

250 m / 30 seconds = 8.3333 meters/second = 18.64 miles per hour

Average speed = distance/time
distance = 250 meters
time = 30 seconds

Sounds like a homework question ;)

If you know how many metres they run in 30 seconds, you can work out how many metres they run in an hour - there are (2*60) 30 second segments in an hour.

This will then give you their speed in metres per hour. There are 1000 metres in a kilometre, so divide the answer by 1000 to give a speed in km/h.
