At the 2008 Olympics Shelly-Ann Fraser won the women's 100m in a time of 10.78s. If she had continued running, how much further would she have run by the time an athlete running at the qualifying speed (11.32s) would have crossed the line?
shelly-annes time = 10.78 seconds
so...
100 meters = 10.78 seconds
1 meter = 0.1078 (10.78÷100)
therefore at time of 11.32 seconds divided by a distance of 0.1078m should equal Shelly-Anne Frasers new time.
11.32s ÷ 0.1078m = 105.009276438 meters
this means new distance minus old difference should give us the amount of extra ground she ran.
105.009276438m - 100m = 5.009276438
rounded to 3 decimal place = 5.009 meters.
this means that if shelly-anne fraser carried on running by the time the 11.32 second came up, she would have ran a further 5.009 meters.
