Question

Four swimmers competed in the 100-meter freestyle.

Their times were 68.92 seconds, 72.3 seconds, 73.2
seconds, and 69.15 seconds.
If the lowest number represents the person who came
in first, what was the time of the person who came in
third place?
O 68.92 seconds
O 72.3 seconds
O 73.2 seconds
O 69.15 seconds

Answer 1

The person that would come in third place would be the person who swam in 72.3 seconds. The answer would be B because the first place winner was 68.92, second was 69.15, third would be 72.3, last would be 73.2. The faster swimmer would have the lowest time.

Answer 2

Answer: 72.3

Step-by-step explanation: least to greatest would be 68.92, 69.15, 72.3, 73.2

So with that information and knowing that the lowest number represents the person who came in first, then we know 72.3 is the person who came in third place.
