In a 5.00km race, one runner runs at a steady 12.0km/h and another runs at 14.0km/h.
how "FAR" from the finish line is the slower runner when the faster runner finishes the race?
:
Find the time required by the faster runner to run the race
:
hr to finish the race
:
Find how far the slower runner travels in 5/14 of an hr at 12 km/h
* 12 = 4.2857 km
then
5.00 - 4.2857 ~ .7 km from the finish line when the faster runner finishes
