How would the results of the race change if the times were recorded to the nearest second?

How would the results of the race change if the times were recorded to the nearest tenth of a second?

How would the results of the race change if the times were recorded to the nearest hundredth of a second?

An athlete recorded a time of 48.85 seconds to the nearest hundredth of a second. What are the possible times of this athlete recorded to the thousandth of a second?

The table shows the top speeds, in miles per hour, of 5 luge athletes: List the top speeds of the athletes in decreasing order.

The table shows the top speeds, in miles per hour, of 5 luge athletes: Do any of the athletes have the same top speed rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour? What about rounded to the nearest mile per hour?

The table shows the top speeds, in miles per hour, of 5 luge athletes: There was a sixth athlete who was faster than the rider at 82.80 mph, but slower than the rider at 82.81 mph. What could the speeds of the 3 athletes be if all measured to the nearest thousandth of a mile per hour?
