for every 5 strides A takes, B takes 7 strides, and C takes 6 strides.
\n" ); document.write( "However the ratio of the stride length of A:B:C IS 9:6:5.
\n" ); document.write( "In a certain race B beats C by 120 Meters.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Dist traveled = stride rate * stride length
\n" ); document.write( "B dist: 7 * 6 = 42
\n" ); document.write( "C dist: 6 * 5 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "42x - 30x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "12x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "x = 120/10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 is the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "B traveled 420 m while C traveled 300 m (120 m difference)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "By what distance does A beat B in the same race?
\n" ); document.write( "Find A's distance
\n" ); document.write( "5 * 9 + 10 = 450 meters
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "450 - 420 = 30 m, A beats B
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
