Answer 1

58.17 seconds

Answer 2

38.77 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Kim finished a race in 48.47 seconds.

This is 9.7 seconds faster than her practice time.

We need to find Kim's practice time.

Finished time = 9.7 + (practice time)

i.e.

Practice time = (Finished time-9.7)

= 48.47 - 9.7

= 38.77 seconds

Hence, the practice time is 38.77 seconds.
