1. Convert meters to miles:

* There are 1609.34 meters in one mile.

* 2900 meters / 1609.34 meters/mile = 1.802 miles

2. Convert minutes to hours:

* There are 60 minutes in one hour.

* 12 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 0.2 hours

3. Calculate speed:

* Speed = Distance / Time

* Speed = 1.802 miles / 0.2 hours

* Speed = 9.01 miles per hour

Therefore, you would need to travel at approximately 9.01 miles per hour to complete 2900 meters in 12 minutes.
