suppose an auto racer won a 300 mile race with a time of 1:46:41. at one point the racer was 60 miles closer to the finish than the start. how far had the racer gone at the point? How far from the start was the racer?__miles
+23248 First, let's find out where the racer was when s/he was 60 miles closer to the finish that the start.
The midpoint of the race is the 150 mile mark; half of 60 miles is 30 miles; if we add 150 + 30, we get the 180 mile mark; this will be 60 miles closer to the finish than the start because it's 180 miles from the start but only 120 miles to the finish.
The time is not important for this problem.
