He is studying decimals. This particular section asked the students to correctly place the decimal in each word problem. Of the 23 possible answers, three were about track and field, one was on auto racing, and no other sports were included. Our sport still has hope in the United States! Part A No. 2 - Linford Christie ran the 100-meter dash in 996 seconds in the 1992 Olympics. No. 3 - In the Same Olympics, Jan Zelezny threw the javelin 294166 feet. No. 4 - Valentina Yegorova ran the marathon in 2 hours, 32 minutes, 41 seconds. She ran a distance of 413 kilometers.
