Answer 1

A. 94.37 seconds

B. 0.48 seconds

Explanation:

Total distance = 50 meters

First trial = 32.15 seconds

Second trial = 31.67 seconds

Third trial = 30.55 seconds

A. What is Todd's combined time for all three trials

Todd's combined time for the three trials = First trial + Second trial + Third trial

= 32.15 seconds + 31.67 seconds + 30.55 seconds

= 94.37 seconds

B. How much faster was Todd's second trial than his first trial?

Second trial = 31.67 seconds

First trial = 32.15 seconds

Time taken for first trial - Time taken for second trial -

= 32.15 seconds - 31.67 seconds

= 0.48 seconds

Todd's second trial was 0.48 seconds faster than his first trial
