Answer:

17.32 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to the instances given:

  Number of friends  = 4;

  Distance covered  = 100yards

Now, sentence by sentence;

  Jason ran the race = 17.32 seconds

Bill ran the race 1.78 seconds faster than Jason;

  Bill's time = 17.32 + 1.78  = 19.1 seconds

Bill's time was 0.84 seconds more than Art's;

    Art's time  = 19.1 + 0.84  = 19.94 seconds

Pablo's time was 1.23 seconds less than Bill's,

   Pablo's time  = 19.1 - 1.23  = 17.87 seconds

The winning would be that of the friend with the lowest time, the lower the time higher the speed.

So Jason's time is the winning time =  17.32 seconds
