To determine how long it took Dita to finish the race, we need to use the formula for time, which is given by:
[tex]\[ \text{time} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \][/tex]
In this problem, we have:
- Distance = 100 meters
- Speed = 6.25 meters per second
Plugging these values into the formula, we calculate:
[tex]\[ \text{time} = \frac{100 \text{ meters}}{6.25 \text{ meters per second}} \][/tex]
Carrying out this division, we find that the time equals 16 seconds. Therefore, the answer is:
[tex]\[ 16 \text{ seconds} \][/tex]
So, Dita took 16 seconds to finish the race.
