Question

If dan ran the 100m dash in 10.23s. What was his average speed during the race? (Round to the nearest tenth of a second)

Answer 1

.1 seconds per meter

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to assume they are asking for the average time per 1 meter.

Because it took 10.23 seconds to run 100 meters, we are going to divide 10.23 by 100. This number will be the time per 1 meter.

To divide by 100, we will move the decimal point over by two. That will give us .1023 seconds.

The question asks to round to the nearest tenth, so we round it to .1 seconds.

*Just some trivia: Danie van Blerk does in fact have a time of 10.23 seconds. He has the 1073rd best 100 meter dash time. First place, Usain Bolt, has a time of 9.58 seconds.
