Q. Tara specializes in the mile run at her team's track meets. In this morning's meet, she cut 66 seconds off her previous fastest time.\newlineWhat integer represents the change in Tara's fastest time?\newline\newline___\_\_\_ seconds\newline
  1. Tara's Time Improvement: Tara improved her time by reducing it, which means the change is negative. She cut 66 seconds off her previous time.
  2. Representation as Integer: To represent this change as an integer, we use a negative sign because it indicates a decrease. So, the change in seconds is 6-6.
