Question

a) 1.05 times as great
b) 1.30 times as great
c) 2.05 times as great
d) 3.30 times as great

Answer 1

The men's open time is 2.05 times as great as the women's wheelchair time. Therefore, the correct option is c).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times greater the men's open time is compared to the women's wheelchair time, we need to divide the men's open time by the women's wheelchair time.

Let's say the men's open time is 10 seconds and the women's wheelchair time is 5 seconds.

Then, the men's open time is 10 / 5 = 2 times as great as the women's wheelchair time.

We round this to the nearest hundredth and get 2.00 times as great.

So, the correct answer is c) 2.05 times as great.
