10.41 seconds meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

1. divide 5 by 3 you get 0.6

2. he ran 9.6 seconds

3. divide 100 by 9.6 seconds getting 10.41 meters per second

Answer: 10 5/12 meters per seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to

Apply the formula:

Speed rate = distance / time

Replacing with the values given, we have to divide the distance (100m) by the time (9 3/5).

Mathematically speaking:

9 3/5 = (5x9) + 3 / 5 = 48/5

100 / (48/5) = 10.42 meters per second.

= or 10 5/12 meters per second

=or 125/12 meters per second
