Two runners A and B run the mile race (5280ft).runner A run this distance at 30ft/s and B at 20 ft/s. If they start out together and maintain their speeds,how far apart would runner B from runner A when runner A finishes the race?

Runner A finishes in 5280/30 = 176 seconds.
Runner B runs 20*176 = 3520 feet in 176 seconds.
