At the 2008 summer olympics in beijing, china, usain bolt (jamaica) set a new olympic and world record in the 100-m dash with a time of 9.69 sec. if this pace could be maintained for an entire 26-mi marathon, what would his time be? how would this time compare to the fastest time for a marathon, which is 2 hr, 3 min, 23 sec, set in 2013? (hint: 1 m≈3.281 1 m almost equal to , 3.281 ft.) (source: sports illustrated almanac.)

  1 h 7 min 34 sec as compared to 2 h 3 min 23 sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an official marathon is a little longer than 26 miles, we assume this is about conversion factors, not about time.

This "sprint speed" time is about 45% less than the fastest time for a marathon.

_____

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 minute = 60 seconds

_____

Comment on the problem numbers

A marathon is officially 42,195 meters in length. At that length, the "sprint speed" time would be 4088.7 seconds, about 1 hr 8 min 8.7 sec.

26 miles with the given conversion factor results in a distance about 354 meters, or 34.3 seconds, shorter.

im sorry but no. i just need to answer for 50 poonts oof
