Carlos and Diego are racing around the block. Carlos runs around the entire block in 3 minutes. Diego runs around half the block in 2.5 minutes and then is tripped by a dog and can't finish. Assuming he kept up the same speed the entire race, what would've been the average time in seconds for the racers?
If he finished the race, it would've taken 5 minutes because 2.5 x 2 = <<2.5*2=5>>5
Their total time would've been 8 minutes because 3 + 5 = <<3+5=8>>8
The average would've been 4 minutes because 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4
The average time in seconds would've been 240 because 4 x 60 = <<4*60=240>>240
#### 240
