Question

Juan ran the 200 meters in 26.47 seconds, Scott ran it in 26.82 seconds, Kyrah ran it in 26.9 seconds, and Beth ran it in 30.07 seconds. Who ran the 200 meters the fastest?

Answer 1

Answer: Kyrah ran the fastest

Explanation:

The other answers are wrong because remember these people were being timed so the bigger there number was the longer they took to make it, the smaller there number was the fastest they ran.

Answer 2

Juan did.

Explanation:

the two fastest speeds are 26.47 and 26.9 seconds. In order to be able to properly work with that, you need to add a 0 to 26.9 so that it turns into 26.47 and 26.90 seconds. If you were yo subtract those, you would have:

26.90-26.47= 0.43

Therefore, 26.47 seconds is faster than 26.9 seconds.
