Answer: 23.2 miles per hour

Explanation:

He ran 100 meters in 9.63 seconds.

First convert the number of meters he ran to miles:

= 100 * 3.28

= 328 feet

= 328/5,280

= 0.062121212 miles

Convert the seconds to hours:

= 9.63 / 60

= ‭0.1605‬ minutes

= ‭0.1605‬/60

= ‭0.002675‬ hours

Speed in miles per hour is:

= 0.062121212 / ‭0.002675

= 23.22

= 23.2 miles per hour
