Answer:

10.08 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed of a body or an object can be calculated from the ratio of the total distance traveled by the body/object to that of the time taken to cover the distance.

Mathematically,

Average speed = total distance/total time

The total distance covered by Carl Lewis = 100 m

The total time taken = 9.92 s

Hence,

Average speed of Carl Lewis = 100/9.92

                                         = 10.08 m/s
