• 106.25 seconds
• 16 seconds
• 93.75 seconds
• 625 seconds

Answer 1

To find the time it took Dita to finish the race, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{time} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{rate}}
\]

Given:
- Distance = 100 meters
- Rate = 6.25 meters per second

Now, plugging in the values:

\[
\text{time} = \frac{100 \text{ meters}}{6.25 \text{ meters/second}} = 16 \text{ seconds}
\]

Therefore, it took Dita **16 seconds** to finish the race. The correct answer is **16 seconds**.
