You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A will do one more lap than B or 300 m more (assuming the circumference is 300 m)
\n" ); document.write( "A is gaining 0.6 m per second on B and will catch up the 300 m in 500 seconds, 300/0.6
\n" ); document.write( "In 500 seconds, A runs 2500 m and B runs 2200 m
\n" ); document.write( "divide each of these by 300 m, and the remainder for both is 100m, and that is how far from the starting point A will catch B. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
