John ran 4 laps of the track in 5 minutes, 40 seconds (a) how many seconds did it take john to run 4 laps (b) johns average time for running each lap was how many seconds

Well, lets think about this. We need to ask our self how many seconds are in one minute. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute. We know he did 4 laps in 5 minutes and 40 seconds. You can change the minutes to seconds by multiplying 60 * 5 = 300 seconds. So 5 minutes = 300 seconds. Now just take the 40 seconds and add it to the 300 seconds, which will give you 340 seconds. So John ran 4 laps in 340 seconds. B wants to know how many seconds it took John per lap...We can find this by dividing 340 by 4 340/4 = 85.

A) 340 seconds

B) 85 sec/lap
