Question

In a 100 m race, A covered a distance in 36 seconds and B in 45 seconds. By what distance did A win the race?

Answer 1

20 meters

Step-by-step

Answer 2

Answer:

We need to find the distance B covered in 36 seconds.

In 45 seconds, B covers 100 m

In 1 second, B covers 100/45 m

In 36 seconds, B covers, 100/45*36 m

So, in 36 seconds, B has covered 80 m

So, A won the race by 100 m - 80 m = 20m.

Hope you are satisfied with the solution!
