At a local swim meet,the second place swimmer of the 100m freestyle had a time of 9.33 sec.The first place swimmers time was 1.32 sec faster than than the second place swimmer.the third place time was 13.65 sec .what was the time for the first place swimmer? What was the difference in time between the second and third place swimmers
9.33 - 1.32 = first place
13.65 - 9.33 = difference between 2nd and 3rd
4.25 - Grade 5
To find the time for the first place swimmer, let's add 1.32 seconds to the second place swimmer's time.
9.33 sec + 1.32 sec = 10.65 sec
So, the time for the first place swimmer was 10.65 seconds.
To find the difference in time between the second and third place swimmers, we subtract the third place time from the second place time.
13.65 sec - 9.33 sec = 4.32 sec
Therefore, the difference in time between the second and third place swimmers was 4.32 seconds.
