Question

Write a program to compute the total time and average speed it will take a runner to run 10 miles with the following pace segments:

they run the first mile at a pace of 7 minutes per mile, the following 4 miles at a pace of 8.5 minutes per mile, the next 4 miles at a pace of 9 minutes per mile and the last mile at a pace of 3.5 minutes per mile.

Performs the computations and prints the results in a single nice message

Language PYTHON3

Answer 1

first_mile_pace = 7.0
two_to_five_pace = 8.5
six_to_nine_pace = 9.0
last_mile_pace = 3.5

total_time = (first_mile_pace*1) + (two_to_five_pace*4) + (six_to_nine_pace*4) + (last_mile_pace*1)

average_speed = float(10/total_time)

print("The total time is",total_time,"minutes and average speed is", average_speed,"miles per minute")

Output:
