Not certain if a data table would be helpful or not. Focus on the tortoise. 40 miles at 4 mph, \"4%2At=40\" based on Rate*Time=Distance. \"t=40%2F4=10\" hours. The tortoise finished his part of the race in 10 hours.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What was the movement time for the hare? This excludes the nap time. \"t%5Bh%5D=40%2F10=4\" hours. Now, to INCLUDE the nap time, \"4%2B5=9\" hours. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Settled. Hare won.
