    a) 2 minutes 48 seconds

    b) The time would decrease as it takes less time for Lara to finish the race.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Speed = Distance / Time

    Speed = 475 / 114

    Speed = 4.16m/s

    Distance = 700m

    Time = Distance/Speed

    Time = 700/4.16

    = 168 seconds

    = 2 minutes and 48 seconds
