The number of flights in a 110 m hurdle race is _________.

Correct option is C

Correct Answer:(C) 10

Explanation:
In a standard 110 m hurdle race, the race involves hurdles placed at regular intervals, and the number of hurdles determines the total number of "flights."

Key details of the 110 m hurdle race:

• The first hurdle is placed at 13.72 m from the starting line.
• The remaining hurdles are spaced at 9.14 m intervals.
• The distance from the last hurdle to the finish line is 14.02 m.

Calculation:

1. The race starts with the first hurdle.
2. There are 9 additional hurdles after the first hurdle, each spaced 9.14 m apart.

Therefore, the total number of hurdles (flights) in the race is:

1 (first hurdle)+9 (subsequent hurdles)=10

Conclusion:

The total number of flights in a 110 m hurdle race is 10.
