Mathematically, how do you work out 'three quarter pace"?
Let's say (for the sake of easy calculations) your best time for an event is 1 minute. In practice, you want to go three quarter pace. So a 100% effort will result in a time of 60 seconds. A 75% effort should result in a longer time. My rudimentary maths tells me I should divide 100 by 75 and multiply the result by 60. That works out to 80 seconds, which is a minute and 20 seconds. Why does that sound much slower than what I would normally envisage three quarter pace to be? Or is my maths completely messed up?
Maths first. Grammars second.
Oh, silly Jim. Syd is using British english. They do maths and go to hospital, instead of doing math and going to a hospital. And don't get me started on chips (french fries), crisps (potato chips), biscuits (cookies), etc.
