The average speed :
1. 10.44 m/s
2. 10.42 m/s
3. 9.26 m/s
The distance 100 m have the greatest average speed
Further explanation
Given
Distance and time of runner
Required
Average speed
Solution
Average speed : total distance : total time
1. d = 100 m, t = 9.58 s
Average speed : 100 : 9.58 = 10.44 m/s
2. d=200 m, t=19.19 s
Average speed : 200 : 19.19 = 10.42 m/s
3. d=400 m, t = 43.18 s
Average speed : 400 : 43.18 = 9.26 m/s
The distance 100 m have the greatest average speed
