A) 110.12 meters B) 111.12 meters C) 112.12 meters D) 113.12 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 111.12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

A runs 1000 m while B runs 900 m and C runs 800 m.

The number of meters that C runs when B runs 1000 m,

= (1000 * 800)/900 = 8000/9 = 888.88 m.

B can give C = 1000 - 888.88 = 111.12 m
