Answer: The answer is 47th of 100 of a second.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that in the 100-metre dash, Martin won first place by taking a time of
[tex]M_t=14\dfrac{23}{100}=\dfrac{1423}{100}~\textup{seconds}.[/tex]
And, Samuel came second by taking time of
[tex]S_t=15\dfrac{7}{10}=\dfrac{157}{10}~\textup{seconds}.[/tex]
The difference between the time of arrival of Martin and Samuel is given by
[tex]t=S_t-M_t=\dfrac{157}{100}-\dfrac{1423}{100}=\dfrac{47}{100}.[/tex]
Thus, Martin beat Samuel by forty seven - hundredth of a second.
Answer:
Martin meats Samuel by 147humdreth of a second
Step-by-step explanation:
If Martin won first place in the 100-meter dash with a time of 14 23/100 seconds and samuel came in second place with a time of 15 7/10seconds, then Samuel beats Martin by (15 7/10-14 23/100)seconds
15 7/10 - 14 23/100
= 157/10-1423/100
= (1570-1423)/100
= 147/100
= 1.47seconds
This mean that Martin beats Samuel by 147humdreth of a second
