What was the difference in time between the second and third place swimmers?
8.01
To find the time for the first place swimmer, we need to consider the information given.
We know that the second place swimmer had a time of 9.33 seconds.
We also know that the first place swimmer's time is 1.32 seconds faster than the second place swimmer's time.
Therefore, to find the time for the first place swimmer, we can add 1.32 seconds to the time of the second place swimmer:
Time of first place swimmer = Time of second place swimmer + 1.32 seconds
Time of first place swimmer = 9.33 seconds + 1.32 seconds
Time of first place swimmer = 10.65 seconds
So, the time for the first place swimmer in the 100 m freestyle is 10.65 seconds.
