[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the distance Andy covers in 3 seconds, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

Given that Andy's average speed is 6.5 meters per second, and he runs for 3 seconds, we can plug these values into the formula:

Distance = 6.5 m/s x 3 s

Calculating this, we get:

Distance = 19.5 meters

Therefore, Andy covers a distance of 19.5 meters in 3 seconds.
