    I we consider her running times as an arithmetic series with common difference:

    43.13 - 43.1 = -.03/2 = -.015, Shelly's time in the fourth race will be 43.1 -.015 = 43.085.

    The time in the fourth race is 43.04 seconds.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Shelly's first race time is 43.13 seconds.

    Shelly's second race times is 43.1 seconds.

    Basically, she improved 0.03 seconds, because 43.13 - 43.1 = 0.03.

    If she keeps this patterns that means she will improve 0.03 each race.

    So, the third race times is 43.1 - 0.03 = 43.07 seconds.

    The fourth race time is 43.07 - 0.03 = 43.04 seconds.

    Therefore, the time in the fourth race is 43.04 seconds, because she's improving at a constant rate of 0.03 seconds per race.
