Time = StartFraction distance Over rate EndFraction

How long did it take Dita to finish the race?
16 seconds

625 seconds

Answer 1

To find the time 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. Plugging in the values:

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

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