Answer 1

To find the time of the swimmer who came in second place, we need to sort the times from fastest to slowest. The times given are:

• 69.28 seconds
• 74.5 seconds
• 75.4 seconds
• 69.15 seconds

The order from fastest (lowest time) to slowest (highest time) is:

1. 69.15 seconds (1st place)
2. 69.28 seconds (2nd place)
3. 74.5 seconds (3rd place)
4. 75.4 seconds (4th place)

Thus, the time of the person who came in second place is 69.28 seconds.
