(1 point)
• 93.75 seconds
• 106.25 seconds
• 16 seconds
• 625 seconds

Answer 1

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

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

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
