Answer 1

To find out how long it took Dita to finish the race, you can use the formula:

$$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Rate}}$$

In this case, the distance is 100 meters and the rate is 6.25 meters per second:

$$\text{Time}=\frac{100\text{ meters}}{6.25\text{ meters/second}}=16\text{ seconds}$$

So, the correct answer is:

16 seconds.
