Question 971239
The length is 26.2. Therefore, A will finish in:
26.2/5.6= 4.68 hours
Runner B:
26.2/6.4= 4.09
1/2 hour is the same as 0.5 hours.
Runner B: 4.09+0.5= 4.59
Runner B will finish 4.68-4.59= 0.09 of an hour ahead of Runner A. 0.09 of an hour is equal to 60x0.09= 5.4 minutes. .4 minutes is equal to 60x.4= 24 seconds, so in minutes and seconds runner B will finish 5 minutes and 24 seconds ahead of A (get it? hours have 60 minutes and minutes 60 seconds. When we calculate tenths, you have to then translate them into sixtieths)
