    Claire's time is not faster than either of the two fastest

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The question is

    Was her time faster than either of the two fastest?

    step 1

    Compare Claire's time with the fastest time

    Claire's time is 27.99 sec

    Fastest time is 27.93 sec

    so

    27.99 > 27.93

    Claire's time > fastest time

    therefore

    Claire's time is not faster than the fastest time, because the value of Claire's time is greater than the value of the fastest time

    step 2

    Compare Claire's time with the second fastest time

    Claire's time is 27.99 sec

    Second fastest time is 27.97 sec

    so

    27.99 > 27.97

    Claire's time > second fastest time

    therefore

    Claire's time is not faster than the second fastest time, because the value of Claire's time is greater than the value of the second fastest time

    therefore

    Claire's time is not faster than either of the two fastest
