Answer:
The average speed of usain bolt in meter per second is [tex]10\frac{5}{12}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that usain bolt set the world record for sprinting 100 m in approximately 9 3/5 a second.
Formula for average speed.
[tex]speed=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Given distance is 100 m and time in sec is
[tex]9\frac{3}{5}=\frac{45+3}{5}=\frac{48}{5}[/tex]
The average speed in meter per second is
[tex]speed=\frac{100}{\frac{48}{5}}[/tex]
[tex]speed=\frac{500}{48}[/tex]
[tex]speed=\frac{125}{12}[/tex]
[tex]speed=10\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Therefore the average speed of usain bolt in meter per second is [tex]10\frac{5}{12}[/tex].
