In a 5.00km race, one runner runs at a steady 12.0km/h and another runs at 14.0km/h.
\n" ); document.write( "how \"FAR\" from the finish line is the slower runner when the faster runner finishes the race?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the time required by the faster runner to run the race
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F14\"$ hr to finish the race
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find how far the slower runner travels in 5/14 of an hr at 12 km/h
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F14\"$ * 12 = 4.2857 km
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "5.00 - 4.2857 ~ .7 km from the finish line when the faster runner finishes \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
