Answer 1

To determine the time of the person who came in third place, we first need to sort the times in ascending order. The times are as follows:

• 68.92 seconds
• 69.15 seconds
• 72.3 seconds
• 73.2 seconds

Now we can arrange them from the fastest to the slowest:

1. 68.92 seconds (1st place)
2. 69.15 seconds (2nd place)
3. 72.3 seconds (3rd place)
4. 73.2 seconds (4th place)

Based on this order, the time of the person who came in third place is 72.3 seconds.
