Runner A runs at a rate of 10.93 seconds for 100 meters. Runner B runs at a rate of 10.49 seconds for 100 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "If they are in the same race..how many meters would runner B beat runner A?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the meters per second of the runner A, multiply that by the time of runner B
\n" ); document.write( " $\"100%2F10.93\"$ * 10.49 = 95.97438 meters ran by A when B crosses the finish line
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "100 - 95.97438 = 4.0256 meters, A behind B when he crossed the finish line. \n" ); document.write( "
