Question 543014
Runner A runs at a rate of 10.93 seconds for 100 meters. Runner B runs at a rate of 10.49 seconds for 100 meters.
If they are in the same race..how many meters would runner B beat runner A?
:
Find the meters per second of the runner A, multiply that by the time of runner B
{{{100/10.93}}} * 10.49 = 95.97438 meters ran by A when B crosses the finish line
therefore
100 - 95.97438 = 4.0256 meters, A behind B when he crossed the finish line.
