Answer:
E. 1/ 20 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance covered by both the athletes is the same.
So, calculating the difference between their times:
- Bryan completed the race in 11.74 seconds
- Luis completed the race in 11.69 seconds
DIFFERENCE:
That means, Luis completed the race before Bryan, and the difference between their times is:
= 11.74 - 11.69
= 0.05 seconds
CONVERSION:
To convert this decimal into a fraction we'll multiply and divide the decimal by 100 (as the number of decimal places is "2", the decimal will be handled by 10 exponent "2" )
[tex]=0.05 \times \frac{100}{100}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{5}{100}[/tex]
5's a common factor in both numerator and denominator hence, it cancels out
[tex]=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
ANSWER:
Therefore, we got [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] seconds. That is option E.
