The speed can be calculated using the formula below:


speed=\frac{dis\tan ce}{\text{time}}

In this question:

Distance = 80 meters (distance of the park).

Time = 16 secons.

Substituting the values:


\begin{gathered} speed=(80)/(16) \\ speed=5\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Answer: The speed of Anne is 5 m/s.
