Answer:
Sara's speed was 6.4 meters per second faster
Step-by-step explanation:
(Were going to name the olympian steve)
First, we have to find how many meters per second Steve ran. To find this we must divide the number of meters he ran by the amount of time it took him to run all 100 meters.
100 ÷ 9.6 =10.41666667
Since the problem tells us to round to the nearest tenth of a second we round 10.41666667 to 10.4. So now we know how many meters per second Steve ran. Now all we have to do is subtract the number of meters per second Sarah ran, from the number of meters per second Steve ran.
Sarah- 16.8 meters per second
Steve- 10.4 meters per second
16.8-10.4= 6.4
And there you have it! Sarah ran 6.4 meters per second more than Steve. I hope this answer was accurate and helpful. I hope you have an AMAZING day!
