First, the rabbit ran the whole race hich is 4/4 of the way. He then ran back to the turtle. The turtle has 3/4 of the way left to go and that is how far the rabbit ran back to get to the turtle. So 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4 The rabbit ran a total of 7/4 while the turtle ran 1/4 Divide 7/4 by 1/4 and you get 7. The rabbit is seven times faster since 7/4 is 7x more than 1/4 \n" ); document.write( "
