Answer 1

To find the time of the person who came in second place, we need to identify the two lowest times from the given results:

The times are:

1. 69.28 seconds
2. 74.5 seconds
3. 75.4 seconds
4. 69.15 seconds

First, we identify the lowest time which corresponds to the person who came in first place:

• The lowest time is 69.15 seconds.

Next, we find the second lowest time for the swimmer who came in second place:

• The second lowest time is 69.28 seconds.

Therefore, the time of the person who came in second place is 69.28 seconds.
