You can put this solution on YOUR website! Glen runs 10 meters in the same time that Leo runs 8 meters.
One day they ran around a 400 meter circular track.
They started at the same place at the same time and they ran in opposite directions.
What was Glen's location on the track when Leo passed the starting line the third time?
:
Let's assume that 10 m/sec = Glen's running speed
and
8 m/sec = Leo's running speed
:
Find the time that it takes Leo to run around the track 3 times at 8 m/sec = 150 sec
Find the distance Glen runs in 150 sec
150 * 10 = 1500 meters
:
Glenn is running in the opposite direction, he will be 100 meters from lapping it the 4th time, Leo will be crossing he starting point at that time, having lapped it 3 times
