Answer 1

The average speed of Mr. Spivey and Mr. Sokoya is 3.7 m/s, calculated by summing their individual speeds and dividing by two.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Speed of Mr. Spivey and Mr. Sokoya

The average speed of two objects can be determined by adding their speeds together and then dividing by the number of objects. In this case, Mr. Spivey ran at 3.9 m/s, and Mr. Sokoya ran at 3.5 m/s. To find their average speed, we perform the following calculation:

Average Speed = (Speed of Mr. Spivey + Speed of Mr. Sokoya) / 2

Average Speed = (3.9 m/s + 3.5 m/s) / 2

Average Speed = 7.4 m/s / 2

Average Speed = 3.7 m/s

This value represents their average speed when both of their speeds are combined.
