Solve each problem. See Example 2.

Track Event Speeds At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, Usain Bolt (Jamaica) set a new Olympic and world record in the 100-m dash with a time of 9.69 sec. If this pace could be maintained for an entire 26-mi marathon, what would his time be? How would this time compare to the fastest time for a marathon, which is 2 hr, 3 min, 59 sec, also set in 2008? (Hint: 1 m 3.281 ft.) (Source: World Almanac and Book of Facts.)
