race in one minute and thirteen seconds (1:13). One fifth is what percent of the entire race?

Answer 1

if you are asking what % of a 1:13 race  is 1/5 of a second....the answer is 0.2379%

Answer 2

1/5 OF 73 Seconds is 22.6 Seconds  1/5 of 6 furlongs is 1.2 furlongs  so the horse averaged  1.2 furlongs in 22.6 seconds,  As to answer to  the actual question the correct solution  is 20 %. 20 % is 1/5 of anything.To break it down further the horse ran .1 furlongs in 1.883..... seconds averaged. at this rate a mile in153.306,,,,,,,,,seconds or his average speed  he was running is about 23.5 mph. hope this helped  solve the 1/5 problem to satisfaction

Answer 4

Haha, one fifth of anything is always 20% of whatever.

20% of 73 seconds is................14.6

1/5 = 0.2 (one fifth is 0.2)

0.2 x 100 = 20% (0.2 means 20%)

0.2 X 73 = 14.6 (20% of 73 is 14.6)
