Explanation:

Answer 2

Given that,

Thomas's time is 8 seconds more than Mia's time.

Jasmine's time is į times the quantity of 21 seconds more than Mia's time

The sum of all three times is 71 seconds.

To find,

The value of m.

Solution,

Let Mia's time is m.

Thomas's time = 8+m

Jasmine's time = 21 + 8+ m

ATQ,

m + 8 + m + 21 + 8 + m = 71

3m + 37 = 71

3 m = 71 - 37

m = 34/3

m = 11.34

So, the value of m or Mia's time is 11.34 seconds.
