Answer 1

Part A: The rounded time for the athlete's 100 meter sprint is 13.2 seconds.

Part B: To round the time to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredth place value. In this case, the hundredth place value is 4. Since it is less than 5, we round down the tenths place value to 2. Therefore, the rounded time is 13.2 seconds.
