Question 182018
Since Burke ran 100 meters in 12 seconds, then we have to determine the distance he would have covered in 9.99 seconds.

So, the following proportion can be used to determine this:   {{{100/m=12/9.99}}}


					12m  =  999
					m  =  83.25 meters


This means that Burke would cover 83.25 meters in 9.99 seconds, and thus, Lewis would beat Burke by 16.75 (100 – 83.25) meters.
