But you brought in an inaccuracy by rounding 12 mins 20 secs to equal 12.3 which is why you are getting a slightly different answer...

Using 12.3m instead of 12m20s at a guess.

I know that, I was just pointing out what numbers would have been used to reach the 11.70731 figure that you questioned.
Just I got distracted by WinAmp halfway through posting and so was a bit slow posting it

I'm making a database in Visual Basic, some other thing in C++, documenting both of them, finishing off some other units and attempting to revise for my last Business exam - I can't even remember what it's about! ><

Ahh, you're prob doing another exam board. I'm doing Edexcel, we did Thermo in unit 2. Never heard of Time's Arrow!

I better go and do a synthesis paper now

I *think* we do OCR B.

Now I can see why so many school leavers need to do Key Skills now

Yeah it's OCR B.

I lost my pre-release booklet. :eek:

The pink one that we have a new copy of in the exam?

The one we are meant to study carefully so we have a good understanding of the content before we get in to the exam?

That's probably not the best thing to do now, is it?

p.s. 25 Days!

(2.4 kilometers) / (12 minutes 20 seconds) = 7.25492851 mph

[edit]
(2.4 kilometers) / (12 minutes 20 seconds) = 11.6756757 kph kph makes more sense!

Google is your friend...
