Answer 1

Answer:

speed of Ato Boldon was 11.02 yards per second and speed of John Carlos was 10.99 yards per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1996 Ato Boldon ran 100 meter dash in 9.92 seconds.

Since 1 meter = 1.09361 yards

Therefore, 100 meters = 1.09361×100

                                      = 109.361 yards

By the formula Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

                                     = $\frac{109.361}{9.92}$

                                     = 11.02 yards per second

John carlos ran 100 yards dash in 9.1 seconds.

Therefore, from the formula speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

                                                         = $\frac{100}{9.1}$

                                                         = 10.99 yards per second

Therefore, speed of Ato Boldon was 11.02 yards per second and speed of John Carlos was 10.99 yards per second.
