Answer:

The cyclist with the greatest average speed is Cyclist 4 with average speed of 4.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

Cyclist 1 travels 9 m    in    27 s

Cyclist 2 travels 87 m  in    22 s

Cyclist 3 travels 106 m  in   26 s

Cyclist 4 travels 108 m   in   24 s

Determine the average speed of the cyclists as follows;

Average speed of Cyclist 1:    v =  9/27  = 0.33 m/s

Average speed of Cyclist 2:    v = 87/22 = 3.96 m/s

Average speed of Cyclist 3:    v =   106/26 = 4.08 m/s

Average speed of Cyclist 4:     v =   108/24 = 4.5 m/s

Therefore, the cyclist with the greatest average speed is Cyclist 4 with average speed of 4.5 m/s
