How much faster was Gale’s total time than Parsley’s? Name Heat 1 Time (seconds) Heat 2 Time Total Time (seconds) Tristan Gale 52.26 52.85 Lea Ann Parsley 52.27 52.94 Alex Coomber 52.48 52.89

How much faster was Gale’s total time than Parsley’s? Name Heat 1 Time (seconds) Heat 2 Time Total Time (seconds) Tristan Gale 52.26 52.85 Lea Ann Parsley 52.27 52.94 105.11 105.21 Compare the total times, you subtract. 105.21 – 105.11 = 0.10 second

“Is my answer reasonable? Gale’s total time was 0.10 second faster than Parsley’s total time. Look, Back, and Check – Ask yourself, “Is my answer reasonable? Did I check my work?”
