Paloma is able to run the 100 meter dash in 16 1/5 seconds.

Savannah is able to run the 100 meter dash in 19.8 seconds.

For this question, you have to make the two times a similar form to make solving it easier.

0.8 seconds is the same as 8/10 and 1/5 is the same as 2/10.

Then you can subtract the two times to find your answer.


19 (8)/(10) -16 (2)/(10)
