1. **State the problem:** Calculate the value of $\frac{100\text{ m}}{26\text{ s}}$ and include units in the answer. 2. **Formula used:** This is a division of distance by time, which gives speed or velocity. 3. **Perform the division:** $$\frac{100\text{ m}}{26\text{ s}} = 3.8461538\ldots \text{ m/s}$$ 4. **Round the answer to 1 decimal place:** $$3.8\text{ m/s}$$ 5. **Final answer:** The speed is $3.8\text{ m/s}$.
