If a runner completes a 10 kilometer race in 32.50 minutes, what is the 10.0 km pace in miles per hour? (1.609 km = 1 mile approximately)

If a runner completes a 10 km race in 32.5 minutes, his pace or speed can be calculated by the equation:

velocity = distance/time = 10km/32.5 mins = 0.3125 km/min

Convert this value to miles per hour using the conversion factors for minutes to hours and kilometers to miles as requested by the problem. This gives an answer of 11.47 miles per hour.

0.3125 km/min x 60 mins. / 1 hour x 1 mile / 1.609 km = 11.47 miles/hour
