Question 1049159: In May 2010, Scott Dixon won the
Road Runner Turbo 300 with a time of 01:50:43.1410
for the 300-mi race. At one point, Dixon was 20 mi
closer to the finish than to the start. How far had Dixon
traveled at that point? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the race was 300 miles, it's midway point would be at 150 miles. So:
150+n-20=150-n
2n=20
n=10
When Dixon had gone 160 miles, he was only 140 away from the finish, which would be 20 closer than where he started. ☺☺☺☺
