    Speed=distance/time

    distance = 10,000 m

    time = 27 min 30.42s but we need to convert that completely to seconds

    (27x60) + 30.42 = 1650.12 rounded to 1650

    speed=10,000/1650.12

    speed=6.059063

    Because when we do sig dig we round to the least number of digits we would round to 4 because 1650.12 gets rounded to 1650

    so 6.059 m/s
