Explanation:

Step1: Sum the times of the first three members

First, we add the times of the first three team members. The time for the first member is $46.685$ seconds, the second is $48.869$ seconds, and the third is $49.33$ seconds. So we calculate $46.685 + 48.869 + 49.33$.

First, add $46.685$ and $48.869$: $46.685 + 48.869 = 95.554$.

Then, add $95.554$ and $49.33$: $95.554 + 49.33 = 144.884$.

Step2: Subtract the sum from the total time

The total time for the team is $190.729$ seconds. To find the time for the fourth member, we subtract the sum of the first three members' times from the total time. So we calculate $190.729 - 144.884$.

$190.729 - 144.884 = 45.845$.

Answer:

45.845
