Please explain how you got your answer, it would help a lot.

Answer 1

10.8 seconds for brett i’m pretty sure

Explanation:

Answer 2

brett took 10.8 seconds

Explanation:

brett takes 2/3 of the total amount of time to run the forty yard dash

andrew takes 1/3 of the total amount of time to run the forty yard dash

if you divide 16.2 by 3 you get 5.4 which is 1/3 of the total amount of time which is Andrew's time

multiply 5.4 times 2 to get brett's time - 10.8
