Robert Cheruiyot from Kenya won the 2003 men's marathon with a rate of 11.98 mph. The women's race was won by Svetlana Zakharova from Russia, who ran at 10.74 mph. Zakharova's time was .25 longer than Cheruiyot's. Find their winning times.
-----
time = distance/rate
------
time = 26miles/(11.98 mph) = 2.17 hrs = 2hr 10 min 12 seconds
----------------------
time = 26 miles/10.74 mph = 2.42 hrs = 2hr 25 min 15 seconds
