**A runner is able to cover a distance of 100 meters in 20 seconds. Based on this information, the runner's speed is … m/sA runner is able to cover a distance of 100 meters in 20 seconds. Based on this information, the runner's speed is … m/s**

To calculate the speed of the runner, we use the formula for speed:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

Given:
- Distance = 100 meters
- Time = 20 seconds

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{100 \, \text{meters}}{20 \, \text{seconds}} = 5 \, \text{m/s}
\]

### Answer:
The runner's speed is **5 m/s**.
