To get total time, you convert minutes to seconds.  For example, a time of 1:54:90 minutes converts to 114.90 seconds.  This is seen by:

1 minute = 60 seconds

60s + 54.90s = 114.90s

To get average speed, determine the distance and time you are using:

Distance: 200m

Reaction Time: .67 seconds

$Time_{p}=114.90-.67=114.23s$

$AverageSpeed={\frac {200m}{114.23s}}=1.75m/s$

To get total time, you convert minutes to seconds.  For example, a time of 1:56:28 minutes converts to 116.28 seconds.  This is seen by:

1 minute = 60 seconds

60s + 56.28s = 116.28s

To get average speed, determine the distance and time you are using:

Distance: 200m

Reaction Time: .67 seconds

$Time_{p}=116.28-.67=115.61s$

$AverageSpeed={\frac {200m}{115.61s}}=1.73m/s$
