\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "X_________________________________Y \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's assume the distance from X to Y is 300 Miles. (Being that the distance is a constant, we can affix any number to it because both racers covered the same distance. So i am choosing 300 Miles for convenience.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, the next phase is to look at the time it will take both races to complete the race. The winner is the person that completes the race in a shorter time.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Jack = It will take him 10hours to and 30 hours fro. Using S=D/t (S=>Speed, D=>distance and t=>time)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sandy = It will take her 15hours to and 15hours fro using the same relationship as above.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore Sandy completes the race first in just 30hours while it takes Jack 40hours.\r
