HELP

Gary won the 100-m dash with a time of 9.87 seconds. His time was 0.93 seconds faster than Brian’s. What was Brian’s time?
A. 8.94 seconds
B. 10.61 seconds
C. 10.80 seconds
D. 11.23 seconds

Answer 1

The answer is A, 8.94 seconds.

Since Gary ran 0.93 seconds faster than Brian, his time will have 0.93 seconds more than Brian's. To figure out Brian's time you have to subtract these 0.93 seconds from Gary's time.

9.87 - 0.93 = 8.94

I hope this helps!
