One athlete won a 100-meter race with a time of 11.22 seconds. Another athlete won a previous 100-meter race in 12.0 seconds. If they ran in the same race repeating their respective times, by how many meters would the faster athlete win?
At 11.22 seconds, faster athlete traveled 100 meters
At this time slower athlete traveled (11.22/12)*100=93.5 meters
by how many meters would the faster athlete win? 6.5 meters
