ANSWER


\begin{equation*} 9.5\text{ m/s} \end{equation*}

Step-by-step explanation

We want to calculate the average speed for the 100 meters race.

To do this, divide the distance traveled in the race by the time taken to complete the race:


\begin{gathered} s=(100)/(10.49) \\ \\ s=9.5\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

That is the average speed for the 100 meters race.
