Answer:

speeds of Juan and Tiauna are 0.1984 m/s and 0.1851 m/s respectively

Explanation:

Given: Juan's time in the race was 5.04 seconds and Tiauna's was 5.40 seconds

Let speed of Juan and Tiana's be J m/s and T m/s respectively

In the race both Juan and Tiauna will cover equal distance. Therefore, the speed and time would have reciprocal relationship

Speed ∝ 1/Time

This means J = 1/5.04 m/s

J= 0.1984 m/

and, T = 1/5.40 m/s

T= 0.1851 m/s

Therefore, speeds of Juan and Tiauna are 0.1984 m/s and 0.1851 m/s respectively
