Question

Coach trainer timed his athletes running 40 yard dash. The fastest time was 4.58 and the difference between the slowest and fastest time was 1.17 seconds. Find the slowest time.

Answer 1

Slowest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded = 5.75 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fastest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded = 4.58 seconds.

Slowest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded = Fastest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded + Difference between fastest and slowest time

Slowest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded = 4.58 + 1.17

= 5.75 seconds.

So, slowest time = 5.75 seconds.
