Answer 1

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

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \]

In this case, the distance is 100 meters and the speed is 6.25 meters per second.

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

So, it took Dita 16 seconds to finish the race.

The correct response is:

16 seconds
