+204 Sprinter A runs 100 meters in 15 seconds, while sprinter B starts 1.5 seconds later and runs 100 meters in 14 seconds. If each of them runs at a constant rate, who is further in 10 seconds after the start of the race? Explain.
+37146 Remember Rate x Time = Distance
#1 rate = 100m/15sec rate x time = 100/15 x 10 =66 2/3
#2 rate = 100m/14sec rate x time = 100/14 x 8.5 = 60.71 m (remember he starts 1.5 sec late)
Runner #1 (A) is further ahead after 10 seconds
