Answer 1

To determine the first and last places based on the times, we look for the fastest time (first place) and the slowest time (last place).

The times are:

• 31.18 seconds
• 27.9 seconds
• 32.41 seconds
• 29.7 seconds

The fastest time is 27.9 seconds (first place) and the slowest time is 32.41 seconds (last place).

So, the correct response is: First place: 27.9 seconds; last place: 32.41 seconds.
