To find the speed he rowed in both races, you need to divide the distance of the race by the time it took him to finish. In the first race, he rowed 500 meters and did it in a time of 1 minute 37.9 seconds, so the speed in that race would be $\frac{500}{97.9}$ or approximately 5.10725 meters per second. In the second race, Adam rowed a distance of 1000 meters and did it in a time of 3 minutes 28.2 seconds, which means his speed in that race would be $\frac{1000}{208.2}$ or approximately 4.80307 meters per second. Since his speed in the first race was faster than his speed in the second race, Adam rowed faster in the first race would be the correct answer.

The question is incorrect
the correct question is
A local citizen wants to fence a rectangular community garden. The length of the garden should be at least 110 ft,and the distance around should be no more than 380 ft. Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden. Graph the system to show all possible solutions

let
x---------------> the length of the garden
y---------------> the wide of the garden

we know that
x>=110
2x+2y <=380---------------> x+y <= 190

Part A) Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden

the answer part A) is
x>=110
x+y <= 190

Part B) Graph the system to show all possible solutions

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is the triangle show in the figure

the possible solutions of y (wide) would be between 0 and 80 ft
the possible solutions of x (length) would be between 110 ft and 190 ft
