Answer:

The answer is 9.88 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an object given it's distance and time taken can be found by using the formula


v = (d)/(t) \\

where

d is the distance

t is the time

From the question we have


v = (79)/(8) \\ = 9.875

We have the final answer as

9.88 m/s

Hope this helps you
