A runner completed the one hundred meter dash in 9.7 seconds. How far dose the runner travel in one second? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter

9.7 / 100 = ?

10 seconds

To find out how far the runner travels in one second, we need to divide the total distance (100 meters) by the total time (9.7 seconds).

So, the formula to calculate the distance traveled in one second is:

Distance in one second = Total distance / Total time

Let's plug in the values:

Distance in one second = 100 meters / 9.7 seconds

Calculating this division, we find that the runner travels approximately 10.3 meters in one second.

Therefore, the runner travels approximately 10.3 meters in one second.
