<PRE><B>Question 1134548</B>
 In a two-mile race, Ed can beat Faith by 1/5 of a mile.
 In a two-mile race, Faith can beat Matt by 1/10 of a mile.
 If Ed and Matt were to have a two mile race, by how much would Ed win?
:
Change 1/5 mi to .2 mi
:
Ed goes 2 mi
while
Faith goes (2-.2) = 1.8mi
and
Math goes (2-.2-.1) = 1.7 mi
:
Ed would win over Mat by 2 - 1.7 = .3 mi
:
It Pains me to say it, but ikleyn is absolutely right! I thought it over as I retired last night and realized it. If they all raced at the same time, it would have been OK, but obviously they did not. I am truly sorry for misleading you. CK
