Arunning relay team ran a 400 meter race in a record-setting time of 36 seconds. what was their average speed to the nearest tenth of a meter per second? 0.09 meters per second 0.36 meters per second 9.0 meters per second 11.1 meters per second 11 i need : ( and can you explain how you found the answer?

It is actually quite simple just do 400/36=11.111111... and simplify.

You can also rule out A and B because they round to 100th not 10th

The correct option is 11.1 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Since:

Speed = Distance /time

We simply have to divide the distance (400) by the time (36) to calculate the speed.

Mathematically speaking:

Speed = 400 meters / 36 seconds= 11.1 m/sec

The correct option is 11.1 meters per second.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
