Hendrik's average running speed is 375 m/min. This is 25 m/min faster than Esteban's running speed. If they want to finish at the same time, how much of a head-start, in time, should Esteban get for a 1500 m run
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "E's speed = 350 m/min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = head-start time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: (Time = dist/speed)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "H's time + head-start time = E's time
\n" ); document.write( "\"1500%2F375\" + x = \"1500%2F350\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " 4 + x = 4.3
\n" ); document.write( " x = 4.3 - 4
\n" ); document.write( " x = .3 min head start (.3 * 60 = 18 sec)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
