The table shows the times of the top six swimmers in the women’s 100 meter butterfly at the 2012 olympic games. a 2-column table with 6 rows. column 1 is labeled place with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. column 2 is labeled time (seconds) with entries 55.98, 56.87, 56.94, 57.17, 57.27, 57.35. between which two places is the difference in finishing times the shortest? what is the difference in those times?

The difference in finishing time between the 2nd and 3rd places is the shortest and it is 0.07 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first positioned swimmer took 55.98 seconds and the second positioned swimmer took 56.87 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (56.87 - 55.98) = 0.89 seconds.

The second positioned swimmer took 56.87 seconds and the third positioned swimmer took 56.94 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (56.94 - 56.87) = 0.07 seconds.

The third positioned swimmer took 56.94 seconds and the fourth positioned swimmer took 57.17 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (57.17 - 56.94) = 0.23 seconds.

The fourth positioned swimmer took 57.17 seconds and the fifth positioned swimmer took 57.27 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (57.27 - 57.17) = 0.10 seconds.

The fifth positioned swimmer took 57.27 seconds and the sixth positioned swimmer took 57.35 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (57.27 - 57.35) = 0.08 seconds.

Therefore, the difference in finishing time between the 2nd and 3rd places is the shortest and it is 0.07 seconds. (Answer)
