Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it took for the cyclist to finish their race, you can you this equation :

time = displacement / velocity

Plug in your values....

time = (100 mi) / (22 mi/h)

= 4.54545454.... hours

As for sig figs in this question you would need to round this answer to 1 sig fig because 100 only has 1 sig fig. (you round to the lowest # of sig figs in the question)

= 5 hours

It took the cyclist 5 hours to complete their race

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
