To compare the running speeds of Han and Priya, we need to find the time it took each of them to run 1 meter. We can do this by dividing the time it took each of them to run 10 meters by 10.

For Han, this would be 2.7 seconds / 10 = 0.27 seconds per meter.
For Priya, this would be 2.4 seconds / 10 = 0.24 seconds per meter.

Since Priya ran 1 meter in a shorter amount of time than Han, we can conclude that Priya ran faster.
