There is a app called Cymath it shows you how to do it and gives you the answer

Answer:

speed of Ato Boldon was 11.02 yards per second and speed of John Carlos was 10.99 yards per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1996 Ato Boldon ran 100 meter dash in 9.92 seconds.

Since 1 meter = 1.09361 yards

Therefore, 100 meters = 1.09361×100

                                      = 109.361 yards

By the formula Speed = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]

                                     = [tex]\frac{109.361}{9.92}[/tex]

                                     = 11.02 yards per second

John carlos ran 100 yards dash in 9.1 seconds.

Therefore, from the formula speed = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]

                                                         = [tex]\frac{100}{9.1}[/tex]

                                                         = 10.99 yards per second

Therefore, speed of Ato Boldon was 11.02 yards per second and speed of John Carlos was 10.99 yards per second.
