:
let t = no. of sec run by A
then
(t+10) = no of sec run by S
:
Write a dist equation, dist = speed * time
They ran the same distance
8t = 7.6(t+10)
8t = 7.6t + 76
8t - 7.6t = 76
.4t = 76
t = 76/.4
t = 190 sec run by A
and 10 sec more
200 sec run by S
:
Find the dist
7.6*200 = 1520 ft is the length of the race
